Difficult to tell with all that crud

Best way to see liners is from the bottom of the block, it can be seen (most of the time) protruding from the bottom of the bores as an aprox 1.5mm thick cylinder.

Cleen up the surface better, you might be able to see it better.

Could be, but it could also just be the ghost of the gasket. As Sprocket says, look underneath.
