They were only ever fitted to 60cwt CMPs so unless you're putting that kind of load on the back I can't imagine they'd ever come into play. They weren't fitted to SWB CMPs which were very conservatively rated at 15cwt. The FGT had all the 60cwt features but even it didn't have auxiliary springs (although it did have 2 extra leaves in the main springs).
Based on those specs I'd say they'd be superfluous for your application. As for the correct look, they'd only be appropriate if you wanted to replicate the F60T (ie. the 110" wheelbase prime mover mentioned previously).
Unless you particularly like the look of them there's probably not much point. You can always stick them on later if you change your mind, or if you happen to acquire that real Bofors from the roundabout!
