Two light tan, near left bottom corner, ~1/4 distance to top edge and ~1/8
distance to right edge, with brown polarity bands, opposite polarity, bands
out.


Without part numbers, it's meaningless.

I see at least 3 on the bottom view, one near the top edge center and two
near the bottom edge center, partially hidden by a wiring bundle.

Any cap over 10 uF will probably be electrolytic.


Wrong.

Any cap over .1 uF or so will probably be an electro.


Nah, ceramics up to (and including) 10uF are common. I use bunches
of 'em. There's quite an overlap (both have their use).
