The rectangle hole in the safety spring interacts/ interfaces with a tendon on the safety cam for the single trigger safety. This tendon fits into the slot and when you move the safety slide back & forth it toggles a piece that locks the trigger down preventing it from being pulled.
It's hard to see because of being out of focus, but in the second picture of the repro. the trigger mechanism is sitting behind the action and you can see the tendon at the very top of the mechanism that fits into this hole.
