If you can read something like BRVI on the side of the roller, the rollers themselves aren't bad (Japanese).
(OEM-style rollers should be changed out with every top end if hydraulics are eliminated.)
If the bodies of the lifters fit your tappet bores, they are probably serviceable.

Re: sifton lifters
I have the Sifton big axle units in my '65, and they seem to work fine. They are oversize, with a nice honed fit in my guide blocks. It wasn't my idea to get the foreign made units,but xxit happens. I am using Comp Cams steel pushrods. They are as quiet as a church mouse most of the time.
