I have only been a member since March of this year, but I have learned so much from these very intelligent and respectful bunch of people!! The time they take to answer all our questions, big or small, is awesome!!
Saying all that, yes they are all ,I believe, are gold finger cards, the brackets could have been left on, but please wait for one of the senior members to chim in.

Second photo bottom left believe has enough for telco rest is gold finger card.

IF you have a local yard, AND they buy scrap gold plate:
The soundblaster AWe cards with gold audio ports; I'd pull the ports off with a set of lock jaw or robogrip players (scrap yard) and cut the fingers (board sort) and send the board as trimmed finger board.
The plating is rather thick on those models; not enough for an upgrade but enough to make the downgrade worth while if you can sell the ports locally.
An extremely rare case where removal can be profitable.

ONLY do so one awe boards though. One on the right above the Live may be an awe. Not the other soundblaster cards.
