Default AP rear pads/discs choices - ?

Following someone's post regarding the pins seizing in their caliper I checked my pins. Actually, as she has been holed up in the garage for the last few months I decided to put the rears into Lepsons for a refurbish - £100 a pop each!!. Anyway the pins were fine with a little corrosion around the calpier's recess of the 6mm hex bolt in the form of white powedery residue.

Whilst doing that I checked the rear discs ~ 19mm and the pads 10mm. So is there any cause for concern are they within tolerance, should I replace either or both of them and what are the choices - ? I am still running DS 2500s in the front when not on track but am not sure what the rears are... presumably the same. I do not really want RS29s on the rear regardless of any equilibrium or not.

Incidentally I bought a spare set of RS29s for the Porsche's 350mm discs and only looked at my card statement last week £445.29 . I kind of assumed they would be comparable to those for a CSL with APs.

Anyway pictures below. Apologies for lack of clarity. The first picture shows the material side and the second the backs. Both covered in rust from the discs.
