Those caps are for the discriminator. I had the same issue when I restored mine. It took a while to figure it out.  In the end I just followed the schematic and it worked out fine.  It probably has more to do with how that box was constructed when it was made.

It has been several years so I can't comment on the colors of the wires, just follow the schematic.  I did not restuff. I believe the 38 116's I restored had the same issue.
