Dan & Bill,
 
The catalog identifies them as GM010-B.  The "B" must be the later version - non-breaking.
 
To me, the springs are a backup (not the primary) to a failure of the hydraulic system and, after more than 750 cycles, neither spring has broken.  However, none of this matters if "gear down" is not selected before actually landing - believe me.
