They look like capacitors.


Yup, I found that each is a .25 UF capacitor.

They should have a voltage rating. That would be clueful as to where
they'd be used. Also, do the terminals have any polarity (+,-) labels?

nope, no voltage and no polarity


..25 uf would be paper cap with no polarity.
Easily 400V or 600V rating.

Defo looks like WeCo equipment, though I can't
pull up a catalog #.

Strong RF from nearby radio towers was a big problem;
the suggestion this was a filter to block the RF
sounds reasonable.
