MG MGB Technical - MGB Leaf spring identification

Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place.

I'm hoping someone may be able to provide some identification for some MGB rear leaf springs I have.

They're 6 leaf, with the code DMGR 4666 printed on the underside.

mgb roadster? Is about all I can figure out.

Many thanks in advance.

Comp items according to Roger Williams http://tinyurl.com/5t8hv3b

But anyone can paint anything on the bottom of a spring, I was on the verge of buying a pair of roadster springs which had the correct number stencilled on them, until I noticed there was no interleaving. The vendor sheepishly admitted they were copies.

Hi Paul

Thanks for your comment and the link to that article, which I had seen before. I was hoping someone could give me a little more information about them.

Well these don't have any interleaving so I guess they must be copies too?

Am I right in assuming they would have been fitted to a chrome bumper MGB Roadster though?

Thanks.

That's the standard stencilling I have seen on several sets (including the fake), no idea who manufactured them. According to Clausager interleaving wasn't used until May 63. I'd imagine some comps stuff came very early in the life, so may be genuine without, and I can't imagine comps stuff being intended for rubber bumper.
