The maximum voltage these are going to see in the 2nd Detector circuit will be so low as to not be consequential, really.
You can use 1200 VDC caps if you wish. H**l, you can use 12,000 volt caps if you want to. But Codefox is correct, 500 WVDC caps are fine. Even 300 WVDC micas are fine. I use the 500 WVDC micas all of the time to replace these and I haven't had a single failure yet...and I do not expect to since they will only be exposed to somewhere between 0 and 10 volts in this circuit.
