Can I reuse thin metal exhaust manifold gaskets?

2002 Ford Escape (Mazda Tribute) 3.0 V6. When removing and then reinstaling the two engine bay catalytic converters, can I reuse the thin metal exhaust manifold gaskets? They do not appear to be the kind that compress or crush, so I'm thinking it's OK, but don't know that as a fact.

Thanks for any responses.

I just found out that they're cheaper than I thought, so I will get new gaskets, thanks.
