These look like they can be replaced with any modern valve on the right side. The fun part is getting the connecting nipple out of the old radiator - if you are lucky that old thread has the same thread as a new valve, but odds are you won't be.

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.
