Are these the glass tube with metal end type fuses?  If so, they will 
be fine even though they don't look like the OE fuses.  As well as 
being marked as suitable for 32V and lower, they will also be marked 
for their current rating, and you should replace 8A with 8A, etc.  

There is no reason to replace an old fuse with a new fuse as long as 
the old fuse is still good.  Sometimes an old fuse will corrrode a 
bit in the fuse box and stop conducting; this can often be cured by 
twisting it slightly in the fuse clips.  This breaks the corrosion 
layer and gives a fresh life to the fuse.
