Default diffrence between front and back springs

how can i tell the diffrnce between front and back -40mm gmax springs? do front and back have a code. cos my -40 mm rear springs dont have much coils at the top and im not sure if these may be front springs installed.

the front are longer

back shorter.... thats how i always could tell...

the front are usually longer to compensate for the weight of the engine...

Default springs

is it possible that the back shocks can have front springs in there because ive insatlled the rear shocks with the springs and the car has not lowered at all. usually springs at the back coli up at the top but these havent coiled up as much as my old spax 40mm springs
