I do not think he meant to say trigger return spring. The return spring sends the trigger back forward after pulling to the rear and firing. I think he meant the little copper colored leaf spring that is on the front of the trigger, which may have a different name - I think.

The drawbar plunger spring tensions the drawbar rearward (and the drawbar tail upward).
The trigger play spring ... which is indeed the little copper colored leaf spring riveted to the top of the drawbar head ... tensions the trigger in a manner which removes excess trigger play when the hammer is in the cocked, single action position.
The CHP started removing the trigger play springs from their 4006's some years ago. Doesn't surprise me that they'd order new ones without them.
