Rear spring query

Hi folks
My o s rear spring was replaced a couple of years ago but I don`t believe its the correct spring as the arch is lower on the wheel in comparison to the other 3 and the o s r wheel itself is at a slight angle.
Ive looked underneath and the o s rear spring does seem thinner than the original n s spring.
Is my assumption correct or could the problem be caused by some thing else like the strut? Any help advise greatly appreciated.
My A2 is 2002 TDI with OSS
 
It might have a non-OSS spring? There is a difference for OSS on the rear springs due to its weight and the resulting change to the centre of gravity. Maybe a replacement seat wasn't fitted that side either?
 
Im kind of leaning to a wanted advert for a tdi SE OSS rear spring then, Do you Know where I can attain the seats from please? also need part numbers for the seats unless they are all the same

Ok so maybe I post a wanted ad for rear spring for SE tdi with OSS? Are all rear seats the same or do I need a part number specifically for the rears?
 
I have an almost new spare pair of what I believe to be OSS springs, I bought them as a quick MoT fix for a broken spring. However, they were obviously a little too long as the car was noticably higher at the back and I had to adjust the headlights. So I replaced them with genuine second hand ones. I can measure them if needed. Let me know.
