Is this beak ok or should I worry...

Hi guys,
Purchased 3 gouldians from ne vendor at a bird fair and noticed this.
They are in isolation currently. All are happy active and eating well on bird seed, millet spray and some greens. I have ng powder inherit water currently and sprayed them with insect liquidator. No diarrhea poppies that I noticed.
I did not ask the question because I did not note that the beak deformity or abnormality could be significant; about medications or illness. Could this be scaly beak or a more infestation? None of the other birds have the same affliction.
And of course now I am at work and cannot get great pictures or examine closer,so it's more frustrating.
Should I treat with s76? - and how often? Trim with an Emory board? Just watch for several weeks in quarantine?
Thanks for all your help.
