Most of the friction discs I have seen are made of black material. A few have been a tan color. If the disk is saturated with oil it would be very noticeable. The disk would be very shiny and the flywheel and bell housing would be covered in a black, greasy, sticky mess, in addition to signs of fresh oil from either the main or o-ring seals.

Four or six springs on the disk is not an issue. Mine has six too, the picture is likely from a different manufacturer or a VW counterpart.

The throw-out bearing in sealed and ungreaseable. Any attempt to grease would result in the grease being spun out from centrifical force and into the cluth itself. A new one would be worth piece of mind.
