Hi Peter,
They *do* look good. My only concern would be driving hard. 50 seems a touch lean to me but I'm no expert.
Perhaps a 20-30 minute run with rpm's covering the range from idle to redline. But be careful with temps, especially at WOT - too lean at full throttle can cause high temps on pistons tops. Would hate to hear you burned a hole in a piston.

I know some say when you examine SPs you;re seeing only what happened immediatley before the engine was stopped - but I believe it takes a little time to get a SP to change color/texture a meaningful amount.

I installed .50 idle jets in my 308 and cut the engine whilst doing a light
cruise.
Haven't stuck the analyser in yet, but this looked pretty good to me.
