Default Help on Progressive Suspension

Does anyone here can please idnetify what type/model this suspension ? The only markings I can see is 3 260 (on red arrow pointing)

Also, can I possibly dismantle and removed this white spacer (somewhat like). Any tips how?

The number on the spring might give you the spring rate, not sure these days I've forgotten most bike ****.
Why do you need to know ? Work backwards from your bike type and year maybe .

I can see a whole bunch of stuff written on the shock. What is the number for example written on the spring.

Have you tried contacting Progressive for help?
