Asbestos insulation around air ducts?

This house was built in 1966 and these are the original ducts. I'm aware that the only way to really know if asbestos exists is to have a sample tested but I am under the impression that asbestos insulation usually looks like a whitish-papery wrap. Is it likely that the insulation in these pictures could contain asbestos? Any input is appreciated!

Thanks so much for your opinion. I'm thinking about having these ducts replaced and was wondering if I'd need to hire an abatement company. I'd like to avoid that but I think it's inevitable. :eek: Thanks again for your comments!
