To x-ray them is maybe a little too far fetched IMO and as you may be able to see on the upper disk, the surface is just too rough for pads too either reach that lower area or the if the pads would touch that are, the pads would be eaten in no time. Just my observation. Picture can't show everything.

For those concerned: the porches these come from weigh a very lot more than my bug does and braking resistance will never match the turbo porsches extreme speeds and loads imho. Most every part on a porsche is over-engineered as well.
Therefore I feel quit confidant that a small layer can be safely removed if done by a ceramic specialist and I found one locally!

Hopefully next week I can bring them in for inspection.
Much to my surprise the calipers and disks also nearly bolted on onto my front (944T Cup) hubs. I need 1 or 2mm shims at most
