I don't have a picture without taking one of the tires off. But, I can say, mine look just like yours. My truck had an A Frame on it for a time before I bought it. It was used to lift logs and beams for a house. Nothing major. As I see it, it's pretty hard for anyone to prove what the springs should look like (as in "when the truck was new") because as far as I know there are no early Power Wagons with zero miles to check, and it seems even then the springs might sag over 60 or so years. This is the time to do it, if you are going to do it, but, how will you really know if brand new springs "made to original specs" would be correct? In my opinion, if they don't have negative (is it "arch" or "arc") then don't worry, unless you just want new springs.
On the other hand, my W300 was a non-winch truck. I added a Braden LU2, and a heavy Meyer 8' plow. The truck squatted about 2" when I lifted the plow, until I had a couple of leaves made to carry the extra weight.
