Default Problem with old swing doors

Victorian house, nice swing doors in hall with Climax hinges. Lefthand door is a little lower than the other one and swings a tiny bit too close to the other door so that they bash against each other rather than pass each other.

The top fitting is hanging down a bit as you can see on the photo.

What is the best was to adjust these? I'm hesitant to start dismantling them in case the spring explodes on me!

I can't work out what goes on with the pin at the top - it seems loose and moves up and down when I push the edge of the door towards the door frame.

The house was built in 1893 - surely these hinges aren't that old? I suspect the doors are though.
