Would these fly as clean gfc or do they have too much going on? If not what are you thinking. I also want to thank you guys who take the time to offer your suggestions on all my questions.

Older style cards like these can vary. I posted 4 threads back in 2021 with similar style boards and most ended up high peripheral due to components on the board basically being weight without value. Some got Telco and some midgrade.

Are the gold fingers on both sides? The two boards with connectors on the other end have gold pins? Can the through bolts on the transformers be removed easily? The aluminum heatsinks can be pulled.

I think there's room for low Telco to be a possibility depending on the answers to the above. But high peripheral if you leave as is

Definitely high peripheral at minimum.

I do think these have a shot at low Telco, especially the two with the extra gold plating but I'm not 100% sure.
