If they're leaking past the stem, you can repack them.
Its MOUAT.
See:
2 pipe system? Looks like a regulating valve.
Mepco still makes those, be prepared for sticker shock.
You can't just swap them for a regular valve without additional work.

I agree, just replacing these with standard valves will cause all kinds of trouble. Use the MEPCOs.
@gerry gill is our resident Mouat guy, hopefully he will chime in.
