Hi & Welcome;
I have never seen a W&W bobbin cover with? spring underneath like that. Can you send some pictures of it? The underneath springs sound very much like a Singer bobbin cover. I have never checked a Singer plate for size compatibility with the D-9?plate. If it otherwise fits you could just take the spring off & use it until you can find the proper plate. Most W&W bobbin covers just depend on a tight fit to hold them in while some have a slit cut a bit inside the back edge with one open end. the resulting finger is spread a bit to provide tension.? I have a very early D-9 with this type of plate. Also its width (front to back) is compatible with a #9, my other D-9s all have a different width plate, narrower as I recall than a #9.
