The rough correlation between the RMS and Ra is around 11%. So our measurements for the stock plate would roughly be 13 RMS.
They look to good to be as bad as your measurement would suggest.

Just got in to work, re-cheeked the plates, got a RMS of 12. I asked the night shift guy to do it for me, he checked the back side of the rear plate ...
O well....
