Did a whole lot of digging and found that some of the aftermarket catalogs have identifiers for the coil spring codes. I did discover that the F5 rear springs I'd ordered are wrong, they will be 10mm shorter than the equivalent xdrive spring (Cn) would have been.
Have no idea what's going on up front, as those springs had what appeared to be I1 on them, which should be an xdrive spring, too soft... but they act like a non-xdrive heavy duty spring. Maybe I read the barcode wrong, the rest of the tag fell off long ago.

I was working on things for my wagon, thinking of installing my tow hitch again. Here's what I came up with, hope it comes in handy for folks in the future trying to map from spring code to part numbers, etc. Non-wagon spring codes to part numbers are still correct, even if the application isn't useful because of the different curb weight.

First number is the suplex part number. Spring codes from catalog: https://www.suplex.de/suplex-katalog/?lang=en

Lookup which part number by options:
