Can't tell you if its crane or not but its not standard. Standard springs have an inner spring

Certainly looks like a heavy duty spring cause of the less amount of coils than standard.

Looks like a fragment of metal laying in the head at the left hand side base of the left spring!

Not a good start if it is.
