Default Valve Springs, are they the same?

Just realised I've stripped one cylinder head down and mixed up the inlet and exhaust valve springs.

Are they the same, or have I fcuked up?

They appear to be physically the same size, but are they the same spring rate?

Looking at the Springs..They seem to be the Same length and Diameter Along with Being made out of the same Gauge Of Steel With The Same Winding Pattern so One would Think The Same..

The only real way to check Is get the springs on the scales with the Press and see what readings we get...I will report Back...
