Should have updated this topic too but it was starting to fade into page 2 and I reasoned I should just let it die... I was able to transplant the spring from another similarly aged knife I had. I have no idea if the spring is representative of how the spring would have looked from factory but it works great and I'm happy to leave it at that (the knife obviously no longer looks like it did from factory anyway).
For future reference I might add that a few light taps with a hammer will bend a spring to fit but that it had the unintended consequence of not allowing it to open fully (might be possible to solve, either with a spacer while tapping it or by bending the spring back slightly after the tapping.
The picture doesn't show any of the information you were asking for but I already had it around and it shows the knife I stole the spring from for comparison.
The tang stamps are:
