If you look closely at the hinge with the "W" spring, you will probably see that it opens at a greater angle than the other hinge with the "C" spring. Probably best to change one hinge or the other to make them both the same either way. I just happen to buy a pair of NOS "W" springs on ebay about 2 weeks ago. They do come up from time to time. I would share if I did not have an immediate use for both. I have never tried the "C" springs in those hinges. Let us know if they work.
