No, they have the same number of main coils: 5 full winds and two half-winds. I have held both in person. Look at the angle of the two "half" winds on the main springs (which are flattened). In the kw pic, the eye counts them all as full coils, but the ms one you easily miss counting one. They are actually the same, look closer.

Ok I am home now and holding the MS coil in my hand.
I am holding it at the exact same orientation as the KW in the pic, and comparing them.
They are not the same. 100% certain.
The MS coil has exactly 1 extra coil.
Didnt manage to get the pic in the exact same orientation, by myself with cellphone FTL, but should give the jist, I numbered the coils and marked the ends in paint.
If you start counting just to the right of the top end, you get KW 5.2 coils, MS 6.2 coils.
5.2 coils
6.2 coils
