Don't think they are from a Ford - the rest of the front suspension is but not the springs -think they may be a special. I am sure someone will know for sure

I just replaced mine, but the old ones were in several pices so no use to you. Compress them with proper compressors when fitting, it's much less hassle buying a pair than getting broken bones/severed arteries.
