Hhmm...close, but not exact.
They might not lock into position,
or the connector lid won´t close (which holds the terminal in place).

I haven´t compared your suggestion with the originals, but the spring
part of the originals is not solid.It has a gap in the middle, dividing
it basiclly into two half-wide springs.

On the other hand, your finding is way closer to what I found :-)
