That's also what the factory Spare Parts Catalog shows. The Stanpart number
is 59257.
It's apparently unique to the early TR2 w/9" Lockheed brakes, I couldn't
find it listed anywhere else, including a factory supercession list.
Likewise no luck at TRF, Rimmers, Canley Classics and Moss UK.

For whatever reason, that's the spring for the front brakes, which is indeed
different.

I suppose converting to 9" Girling brakes is out of the question ... <g>
