Back of clay roof tiles wet - is it a problem?

My 1930s house has its original roof, which I have been told is made of Belgian clay tiles with no felt or membrane underneath. I recently had a look in the attic while it was raining heavily and I saw that the backs of several tiles had visible damp areas (not dripping).
Is this a problem, or is it how this type of roof is expected to perform?
Cheers.

Damp on the joints is normally seepage through the joint.

That's not to say it's an actual problem.

What's the external like? Any moss, any shaled tiles?
