   These Are 10000PF Capacatiors (103) used as snubbers and depending on what   
   is connected to the Darlington configuration they may be film but my guess   
   would be paper to prevent power up surges that would POP the Collector   
   Emitter junctions since they are rated for 630 Volts in 200 VDC supply.   
   Paper caps would be hard to find these days but you can use a Mylar film   
   type to replace them. If they went more than likely your Darlingtons were   
   cooked. Check the surrounding circuitry there was a reason they cooked. Good   
   Luck.
