Default What Valve Springs are These?

A buddy's selling me these dual valve-springs and retainers for a hella-cheap price. They were on a head for like a month and we were told they were Buddy Club. However, the retainers do not look Buddy Club, nor do the springs, more like Type-R. Opinions?

Or maybe BC springs with mismatched retainers? IDK.

from a quick look all of BCs springs are dual. the retainers should also have a nitrate coating. i don't imagine being inside of an engine for a month would have worn away alll of it.

id say all type-r's.

There is some sort of coating on both the springs and the retainers. But yeah, looks like a definate Type-R retainer, and the springs look Type-R to me also. Anyone else?
