Are the small, top headbolts reusable??

I just got a set of 1/2" head studs and I didn't know that they didn't come with the top smaller studs as well. Are the top row of smaller head bolts reusable? I don't think they're tty so I wasn't sure.

The M11 (bigger) bolts are Torque To Yield and should be replaced.

The M8 (smaller upper row) are regular bolts and should be torqued to 22 lb-ft. and are re-usable.
