Default How thick should a 'New' Diamond stage 3 clutch be?

Just wondering how much wear my clutch has and how much life it has left. I got it in a deal with a shortblock and tranny several months ago. The seller said it was like new; I should have requested clearer pics before I bought it I think. Anyway, just started on my build a couple weeks ago and I noticed that the clutch material on the flywheel side is a bit thinner than the other. I measured the total thickness of a couple pucks and they all came to around 0.30x". Is this a normal thickness for this clutch?

Thanks! This is the first clutch I've seen in person, I had no idea they were that thin. I checked how much material before I get to the rivet with a feeler gauge and straight edge. Came up with between 0.011" and 0.012". Is this normal?
