The D15B has a code of P08
The D16A has a code of P28

Are you asking the reason the spring is there like it's purpose? If so the spring is there to take up the extra slack in the belt and properly tension when you follow the factory service manual t-belt install. As for the difference between springs I'm not sure, but I would defintly find an OEM tenioner/spring assembly for the d16a. Not worth destroying the motor.
