In practice, partial claims on a Outer Mission roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements.
Reclaimed tile can be matched on Outer Mission heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Underlayment choice is what decides it more than covering choice on a Outer Mission tile roof, since that is the layer doing the waterproofing. It is the same story on most Outer Mission streets. Standing seam on a Outer Mission property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal. San Francisco County is no different.
