    There is plenty of meat there but that's not the issue with these. They have a tendency to delaminate from moisture If you don't know the history. Ie how old they are it's better to change them out. Cheap insurance

    Those are indeed original and one of them does appear to be beginning to peel away from its backing plate.

    Definitely replace.
