If in doubt....replace the studs. You are right to have doubts about a 50 year old item. Recently I had 10 sets of studs made very reasonably and they were all taken up by London Alfisti immediately. I have one set left if you need dimensions. However, do check that the studs are still firmly anchored into the base of the block. I helicoiled mine so as to get a purchase in new metal. Some others made top hat sections to improve the grip in the parent metal.
