That pic was with the weatherproof cover off - I should've mentioned that. They all have weatherproof covers, the majority look the same with cover on, and I had approximately 300 receptacles to test before determining what needed replacing.

Now that I'm replacing receptacles the photo above is what I'm finding. Replacing the receptacles has become a tedious job. Most of the weatherproof cover screws are corroded and are breaking as I attempt to ease them out. This has led to a couple removal methods. Punching them out until I broke a box, cast FS type JB, fortunately at the tail end of a run. Now I'm carefully drilling-out the broken screws and re-tapping. If I do one I figure I might as well do them all. Nothing more frustrating than needing a Robertson AND a blade screwdriver to remove one cover.
