Maybe,but that only really matters on Mercury dimes and high grade roseys.

Agree, this is primarily a Mercury dime issue.

No matter what - it isn't full bands as the bottom ones look to worn.

From PCGS :
What Are Full Bands on Roosevelt dimes?
By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez - November 12, 2021

Roosevelt dimes are among several series that are graded not only upon the basis of circulation wear but also depending on the presence of certain details that are recognized by special grading designation. In the case of the Roosevelt dime, this special grade-related designation is known as Full Bands, which refers to the horizontal twin bands found on the torch that alights the reverse of this popular coin.

EDIT: I imagine the FB designation only applies to MS examples. (?)

I'd say no Full Bands.

As published in the PCGS Rare Coin Market Report "Coin Designations" section, "PCGS designates Full Bands for Roosevelt dimes that grade MS60 or better and show full separation of the upper and lower horizontal bands of the torch on the reverse. To qualify for this designation, a coin must also show no significant cuts or marks across the horizontal bands."
