The best way to test it is to delete them (while in another
OS) and see what happens. My guess is that they will get
automatically re-created just like any other user hive gets
created when that user first logs on.

The ERUNT readme says:

ERUNT saves only registry files which are in use by the system.
It obtains information about these files from registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\hivelist.
Registry hives not listed there, for example those of other
users of the computer, cannot be saved by ERUNT.)

These LocalService hives are listed in HKLM\...\hivelist
so I assume that ERUNT is deliberately skipping over them
because they are not needed.
