Dewalt DW733 Planer blades?

Hi. Another new member here. My question has to do with replacement blades for my planer- which is a discontinued model,of course… Dewalt DW733 with 2 blades. 12 1/2".

I ordered new blades from an ebay seller.The package says Dewalt DW733 blades. But when I opened the pkge I noticed some differences.
1.The blades are smaller in width by @3/16 "
2.The original blades have a spring screwed on the back of the blade, which is not on the new blades and there's no place to put the spring. ( no threaded holes to attach it).

Is this common with the replacements for the planer? Why don't the aftermarket blades have the springs?
Thanks in advance.

One follow-up question-
the original blades aren't in real bad shape- does anyone ever get them sharpened? I asked on another site and a Dewalt tech said to toss them out because the set-up specs would be changed if they were sharpened.
