Little specks inside Rolleiflex 3.5F's taking lens, is it cause for concern?

I sent off my Rolleiflex automat to Mark Hansen and got myself a 2nd rolleiflex, a 3.5F Planar which just arrived today.

The taking lens has some weird little specks which can only be seen if I tilt the lens at a corner or if I look really close up. It's not surface dust. Is this any reason to be worried about? Will this spread? The seller mentioned that the lens are clear and no scratches, haze, separation or fungus. I have yet to load film to test it out. Should I run a test roll into this first or send this back to the seller? I will be uploading pics of the specks in awhile...

Any insight about the little specks would be really great help.

Here are some pics












At some angles, I can't see the specks at all
