Wonky Purlin Supports...

Hello,

My early 60s house has a hipped roof where the four purlins sit on five brick supports. Two of these look wonky, which is a little concerning. I show the two wonky ones and one that looks fine for comparison. Is this something to be concerned about and should I have them re-built? If so, how do you do it without there being a collapse?

Many thanks

If solid it's fine. Leave alone.

They tended to be built by the apprentice and built wonky.
