The OE front rotors have curved cooling veins but they are identical. Meaning they go against the conventional curved vein rotor which have left and right sides.
I think Audi maybe did this for simplicity. So they can be mounted on either side.
In short the cooling veins on your rotors are normal for OE S6/S7 rotors.

Also, forgot to post, the dealer had to add in two more parts ... the wear sensors for the brake pads.

4H0-615-121-P for ~ $80
4G0-615-121 for ~$56

Two weeks out ... enjoying the new brakes. No dust on the wheels, great stopping power (unfortunately tested on I-95 today when some clown cut me off without putting on his signal), no squeaking, awesome look with the slotted rotors.
