Springs cut? 72 lwb

Just noticed on these pictures I took? Are these springs busted or cut? Been under her 100 x and didn't even see this, pretty obvious too. Thanks in advance

Dang, can't upload pics using An iPhone iPad? Anyways sorry I'll try and explain my best. In the rear , the middle two coils are compressed (touching).

Mine were like that also. The inner coils of the rear springs are closer to together to make a progressive rate spring. Plus they are probably sagged out. If they wee torched you would be able to see it. They would be uneven or rippled.

If they're touching they probably were torched
