How can I properly format for a reprint edition in line with the Author-Date Style?

Question

I'm working on a publication for a Springer journal and using their svjour3 LaTeX macro package to format everything (click here to download), which includes a spbasic.bst file. I'm using the Author-Date Style for citations.
For citing reprinted editions, the The Chicago Manual of Style says the following:

I'm not sure how to replicate this in LaTeX. I've come across solutions involving biblatex-chicago, but that appears to be incompatible with the svjour3 package.
The best I've managed to come up with is the following:
@book{Broad1925,
    year = {[1925] 2013},
    author = {C. D. Broad},
    publisher = {Reprint, New York: Routledge},
    title = {The Mind and its Place in Nature},
    doi = {https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315824147},
}

This generates the following in-text citation, which is what I need:

But the bibliographic entry looks like this:

It places the whole series of dates in parentheses rather than separating them.
Following the Author-Date Style guideline, I'd like the dates to be separated from each other, like this:

Broad CD (1925) 2013. The Mind and its Place in Nature. Reprint, New York: Routledge, DOI https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315824147

How can I do this?

Most BibTeX styles don't have a facility to specify original publication and reprint date separately.
So putting both into the year field is probably the closest you can get to a general solution
@book{Broad1925,
    year      = {[1925] 2013},
    author    = {C. D. Broad},
    publisher = {Reprint, New York: Routledge},
    title     = {The Mind and its Place in Nature},
    doi       = {https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315824147},
}

without modification of the .bst file (which for journal submissions is probably not recommended).

Note that spbasic.bst does not produce CMoS-compliant output for other entries either (CMoS would want "Doe, Jane. 2020. Title.", but spbasic gives us "Doe J (2020) Title"), so it is unclear whether you should try to stick to CMoS guidelines for this specific entry.
Many journals don't actually use LaTeX to publish their papers, so LaTeX submissions are usually transformed into a format usable for the publishing pipeline. It is very possible that tweaks to the bibliography output are applied at later stages in the publication process, so you may not need to worry too much about the finer details.
