Default Another Anti rattler/retractor spring Post

1930 Sports Coupe for reference. (First time posting)

I have tried my best to make it through the other posts/discussions related to the brake antirattler/retractor springs. I have to replace a broken spring on my rear passenger's side (see picture) and figured I would just replace all six.

All the discussions have been fairly easy to follow related to the 4 springs on the back end of the car, but I'm not as confident on the front springs. It seems as though the springs currently on the front brake rods are installed backwards based on the Les Andrews diagram (1-45) and everything I've read or been told.

Shouldn't I be installing my front springs opposite of what they are now (see pictures), where the cups of the springs are facing the front tires instead of the center of the car?

I also included pictures of the rear springs that need to be replaced in case there is any other additional thoughts someone might have on those too. This all started with a brake pedal not returning to full position.
