Parking brake cables

Been working on my parking brake on my 69 Dart because I am bored. The parking brake has never worked really well, so i am looking into it. The cables are not frozen and move well. I did notice that one cable is about an inch or so longer. I also noticed that they are not the same on the outside. The left side is just armoured looking and the right side has a spring wound around it like a brake line. Is this normal??
