I believe the diagram in the workshop manual is incorrect. Early production springs are as per Parts List diagram. Late production springs have one additional leaf, and the rear clips are the same type as the front but are inverted and have a heavy steel bush over the bolt (see pic below).

It would appear there was some concern about the rear clips fouling the chassis, although as Tony says it would require extreme spring flexion for this to occur. However if it did occur it would be very unhealthy for the spring, and could potentially snap the top leaf at that point.
