they dont look too bad, My 383 NA always burned plugs like that and I was dialed in at 12.6 AFR a tad rich for NA but it liked it.

A nice brown colour is usually perfect, wouldnt know on a turbo car tho.

Whats your timing and PE/VE tables like? did you modify so at 95KPa up drops timing and adds fuel etc?

stock range is autolite 105's the 103's are two steps colder. A bunch of different people told me their car runs better on the autolites. I havent tried the NGK's because the plugs do not foul out and the car pulls hard with no signs of detenation.

Yep just ask for autolite 103's. Make sure they are the regular copper version (orange box)

I believe 106 is the stock AL. I run the 104 which I always thought was two ranges colder. 103 may work good too, but pretty sure that's 3 ranges colder. As was mentioned, you want the copper core version, not platnium.
