Apart from the advance stop, all 3 of the springs in the two pics, are slightly knackered, and, won't give the originally designed curve.......

The 15 degree one is the correct one, but you really want to have it tested.

The 15 degree cam has been welded so unlikely to be 15, might not be a terrible thing though.
