Sure. I don’t think they’re there, I know they are. Here’s why:
I took your photos and marked them to show what I’m talking about.
The arrows in red are pointing to your intercepting sears. If the interceptors weren’t there, you would not have the interceptors resting on top of the sear legs and the space where the interceptors are currently mounted would be vacant. Furthermore , the pins that hold the interceptors in place would just be screwed into the action frame and not be holding anything in place.
Often times when an English double is equipped with these interceptors, upon inspection you might find that they have been removed. A few reasons for this: Some gunsmiths say that the interceptors can make a trigger pull feel sluggish and more difficult to adjust to a customers preferred pull. Or, the interceptor has stopped working correctly and has been removed because it’s not worth repairing.

I would hold the action vertically, tang up, and use my thumb or a dowel to push just the sear. That's if you feel that you need to test them. The gun seems to be in fine condition. I would probably just trust them to work.
