I believe they are 'Short' Roadholders (as fitted to Featherbed models) so there should've been a sintered bronze bush/bushing (06-7521) in the top of each slider immediately below the oil seal and paper washer?

The bush (also paper washer 06-7520 and fork seal 06-5483) are retained by the 'lockring/fork slider extension' (two separate parts originally) .

If the pitting is in the area of the rods that enter the damper tubes during fork movement then it can matter, as pitting or excessive clearance between reduces damping on extension. The rods and damper tube caps often need replacing due to wear and/or corrosion, especially the damper tube caps which should really be replaced at every fork rebuild.
