Do these capacitors look OK to you?

A customer recently brought me a 1953 Fender 5C5 Pro that was pretty trashed. At some point, a previous technician had replaced the filter capacitors, reversing their polarity while he was at it. :messedup

My guy had a 15" Weber Ceramic Blue Dog (16 ohm) he wanted to put into the amp, so I paired it up with a 50 watt Mercury Magnetics OT (original OT was shot). After an hour of swapping in different 6SC7 tubes, the amp has a beautiful chime with tons of sustain and enough power to take your head off. I'll almost hate to give this one back.
