15 years ago we discussed CarlosFM's theories about snubbers in power supplies. An user Joseph_K did measurements with a network analyzer with different kinds of capacitors in parallel. Anyone who remembers?
Real world measurements made by a network analyzer, excellent Joseph_K starting here:

Where is the link these days? Gone?

Gee, a search using the search term "snubber" and "By" member Joseph K returned all sorts of results that might be what you're looking for.
BTW, this can be easily simulated in the various SPICE programs if you know the ESL and ESR of the capacitors, the stray capacitance of the resistors, and have a good estimate of the inductance of the various leads and connecting wires. These can be measured with a good LCR meter.
Or, you could use something like a nanoVNA to measure the circuit itself. Power off, of course.
