H&R Springs Real?

I recently purchased a used set of springs that were advertised as being H&R lowering springs. When I got them in the mail and took them out of the H&R box they looked suspiciously like stock springs. They are black in color and 10" in height with no markings whatsoever besides various dabs of colored paint. Can anyone who actually has H&R springs or is familiar with the up close appearance of the stock springs advise me as to what kind of springs these might be? Thank you.

Those are OEM springs...

H&R's are green... And, they look completely different. Sorry to say, but you've been hosed!

Thank you very much. I thought they were B.S. but I just needed confirmation.

An Ebayer who will be giving me a refund (I hope). I paid with papal so I should be protected. The picture in the listing was small and crappy and they looked dirty greenish, sometimes it is hard to tell what the heck you are looking at. Should have done my research though as the winding pattern looks totally different. Live and learn I suppose.
