K98b band spring question

Did the k98b use the same band springs as a g98? I know the g98 rear band is slimmer than the 98b rear band but is the spring itself the same length?
 
I never took the time to measure one, but you probably could use the rear band spring from a "wide" RB equipped G98 stock. They look about the same, but I have never tried to substitute them. You probably could alter or adjust (grind) one to fit, I think this was done, or at least some seem to have been ground to fit (I assume period, but recent also, I went through my database looking for RB spring details, no good examinations of springs, so i can't help with measurements or good pictures)

Pictures attached of DD 1924 for a comparison to the real deal,

Picture of a upgraded G98 (G98M) that I use to own, note the adjustment, this is seen often, apparent grind marks, in this case the RB was period original, I assume the BS was also.
