368or388 spring???????? In the middle of spring swap

whats the deal, is the stock spring a 368, the one I'm pulling out of my truck looks to be numbered up with pink 368 or 388... Is this normal, or is this some super trick spring I should leave in..lol

That's the stocker. It's amazing to me that the paint/ink is still on there after all those years and miles, but every spring I've ever pulled has still had a legible marking.
