Can´t help you with the black ones. You need to check, what´s written on the side.
The white ones are 1,5µf/100volt
C5C is 680nF/100volt
The white ones are Arcotronic MKT´s

Judging by the attached image, the components are covered with a black shrink tube or a black rubber sleeve. This was made, if capacitor variants are chosen without isolation envelope like those from the attached image.
If we know the brand so as the exact model naming with serial No.,, more details will be called.

Thanks fot the white capacitors, Arcotronic.
The black capacitors haven't any sign at the sides an there aren't covered with shrink tube or anything else.
The capacitors are on the LS3/5a speaker crossover.

Then the best, you can do is take them out and measure them. Then compare to schematic and decide, if you will
keep them or replace them 😉
The FL6/23 crossover used in the Falcon Acoustics LS3/5a Gold Badge is a faithful recreation of the original BBC 15-ohm design. It features:
Two autoformers (in both the positive and negative paths) for the woofer to ensure symmetrical amplifier loading.
A dedicated transformer for the tweeter to fine-tune output and match driver tolerances.
Hand-selected resistors and polycarbonate capacitors for accuracy and tone.
Low-inductance components on a multilayer PCB for clean signal paths.
This complex, BBC-specified crossover enhances midrange clarity, tightens bass, and smooths treble—delivering a highly accurate, emotionally enga
ging sound.

I'd rather assume they are hiding the "MADE IN CHINA" print.
Guess marketing forgot about the arcotronic mkt capacitor..
I do love when they praise their products..

Haenk How can you possibly think that , they are not capitalists, they are passionate company...
I don't know who manufactures the falcon black ones, I know that these are mkp not polycarbonate.
My black ones seems to the falcon capacitors but as I said before there aren't any signs on them, no any shrink tubes. The values are right, but I search the manufacturer of them.

There´s no such thing as Falcon capacitors.
It´s some other brand, OEM´d with Falcon´s name on them some time in the past.
Maybe Falcon Acoustic?? Have no idea 😉

according the images under

and

you are right concerning this MKT capacitors (Made in BRITAIN)
According the first image of crossover network of an old ROGERS LS3/5a version under
https://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?topic=25141.0
the capacitor brand "RIFA" was used. Even in the newer FALCON crossover network parts maybe RIFA was the used manufacturer.
