The upper pulley looks fine. The lower pulley looks badly worn. But, it might still work even if worn smooth. Vintage derailleur pulleys were round.

Do you lube the pulleys. I used to use grease, then decided that the high viscosity on bushings was bad. I've started to use a very viscous oil (Lucas transmission oil/leak stop). Still testing.
