FWIW, these are the front rotors on my 220 S65. They're drilled and are floating (hub and disc can be separated). Despite the heat veins, they're still in spec according to my micrometer.
This is a front brake assembly for a 221 S65. Rotors appear to be solid and dimpled rather than drilled through. No slots.

If they're that worn that the dimples are gone, then the OP should also be able to discern a rather tall ridge at the edge of the rotor. In that case, they should definitely be replaced.
