V70 Front Springs

I am desperately trying to find out which front springs I need for my 1998 V70 2.0 Turbo, 5 door wagon (built in Belgium).
The chasis no is 401818, the engine no is B5204T2
I have given this information to so many Volvo parts dealers and none of them can tell me what I need.
The Product Plate no. is 4221EVS (the first 2 digits are supposed to give a clue but 42 does not mean anything to anyone).
Can anyone help me out here? Does anyone know what the Volvo ref number would be?

I'll try and look this up for you on Vida, but can you check the Product plate lower right as I believe it should have 8 digits not 7 as posted. Maybe Europe was different?

Looking at Vida with this car configuration, and going through the spring options, the dealers are like me confused as there is no option listed with '42' as the spring type. Can you still see the paint splash on the spring? I can also identify the part number from that possibly. The ones listed are White, Blue, Green, Yellow and Brown. There are 3 other options though with no colour listed against them. There is also one listed as 'Comfort' which has no ID # other than a part number so not sure how that would be shown on the product plate.

There was also a 'Police' option but again no idea how that was marked.

Thanks for all your trouble Scot.
I'll have a look tomorrow for the paint colour mark wherever that might be.

If you can post the Vin# plate in a picture so I can see the product info at the lower right side that would also be a help.
