calculating spring rates?????

Ive just taken a set of springs out of an 2011 300 ktm for my friend who weighs 73kgs and the front end was like concrete, even with me riding it 83kgs it was to firm, awful to be precise, anyway he's purchased a set of .38nm springs.
But I'm trying to calculate what the hell these springs are that have come out of the bike, the only information i can provide is they're approximately 505mm long and have 27 coils,the person the bike was purchased from is unhelpful to say the least,he was 100kgs and only admitted to upgrading the forks when my friend called him but couldn't be specific about them, can anyone help me??
I do have the wp 48 mm chart but really don't understand it ??
 
i would hasten to suggest that it doesnt really matter what those springs are as they aren't working.

just ring any reputable suspension shop who will tell you what springs they recommend for you mates weight/bike/riding and order them.

have had good results with ordering springs from racespec in the uk amongst others.
