Default Drum Brake Springs Location

Replacing drum brakes on my 64.5 conv. There are two colored springs going from the from the shoes to the anchor pin - yellow and green. Two separate manuals show the springs in different spots. One shows the yellow spring going from the secondary (back) shoe to the pin and another manual pic shows the green spring going from the secondary shoe to the pin.
They are both the same length - does it make any difference in the final operation of the brake?
I already installed the yellow springs from the secondary shoes to the pins.
Any thoughts?
