W124 Sportline vs Standard Springs

I've found out my new(ish) 320TE has sports suspension (which explains the big front sway/ARB & 7" wheels), but it has no sportline badges/seats etc... just the suspension in the build codes.

Previous owner had a 'specialist' put on new front springs recently, but I have a feeling they didn't go by the VIN and put on standard ones, as the front of the car looks too high to me, and looking at other sportline cars between the wheel and arch looks too big... There's no colour codes on the springs, and 11 windings (I *think* sportline springs should have 10?)...
