Yes, the manifolds were on before the engine got paint. There's overspray that's pretty ugly in some places on our engines. Most of the time it's gone now, 50 years later but there's some cars that still have bits and pieces of it showing where you wouldn't think there'd be orange paint.

No I haven't installed them yet. They are spares waiting for a complete engine rebuild.
The heat riser is another thing you should look at. See if it is free moving.
I removed the baffle set-up out of a spare heat riser and Cold Weld epoxied the pin hole, then painted it cast colour. Now it has a smooth, flow-through design. Looks almost stock once installed. They actually sell them like this aftermarket. Word of caution; used for warm weather driving only.
