Those are Rotary aviation seals by the looks of the assist/small piece.

The OEM's have a very very tiny part of the assist section that actually touches the housing, like .009. Those are much bigger

That would explain the chatter anyways.

Sorry to hear about the findings

Personally I'd stay away from the aviation stuff - it'll tear up your housings. But to each his own

EDIT2: Also, if you look at the wear line on the top apex seal, you can see how it heads down the seal in a few areas. Not good - either mill or replace those rotors. Even the two bottom seals - which have mostly STRAIGHT wear - are down pretty far on the beam. The wear should be a *little* higher on the seal in a perfect engine. However save for the seal on top with the jagged wear, the other two are liveable.
