Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Panorama City tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes.

A Panorama City quote that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal.
In practice, reclaimed tile can be matched on Panorama City heritage roof coverings, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Concrete tile suits Panorama City buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question earliest.
