They are obviously not new, but I'd say they were fine!
 I'd/I only think of replacing sprockets when they became 'hooked' ... or the teeth are totally gone

Re: How much wear left in these sprockets?
If your thinking of swapping the chain then change the sprockets as a matter of course. Worn sprockets will reduce the life of your chain so it's false economy to not change them with a new chain.
New chain then new sprockets every time. |

+1
Slap a little lube on there and get back out on it  , looks like plenty of life in them

Those original C&S last very well indeed if regularly lubed.
