I've just been looking at one of the rear springs from my PA. They were on it & definitely looking rather old in 1966 & have square ends to intermediate leaves.
The trailing end of the bottom leaf is stamped "MG 505" & "BERRY". 505 is the MG part number for a P Type rear spring which I can see a manufacturer using when the cars were fairly current. Would they still be doing so after the war though? On the other hand the illustration in my parts list seems to show tapered ends so who knows; it looks as though it was indeed a question of different suppliers.
I tend to agree with Gordon that tapering in thickness must be useful. each leaf of my springs, with a sharp edge at its end, has cut its way into the one above. If that edge had been rounded off that effect must be lessened.
