Darren,

IRC 2003 has the same requirement.(Correction IRC507.7.1 Joists exceeding a nominal 2 inches by 12 inches shall be supported by ect)

With the limited information and pictures we have , if they were in the house plans, looks like similar age of material they would be required for whatever the reason.

Not within my scope to dismiss,just report what I saw.
