1) I do not think it is a good idea to include binaries )pictures) on this NG.
2) My guess is that they are inductors. Use a VOM or DVM and check for continuity on low ohms scale first. If it reads "short" then the guess of an inductor becomes a sure bet. If not, then go to a high ohms range; reversing the leads may show a low value increasing over time to an open. The slower that increase, the larger the value of capacitance. If that is the case, then look for a polarity indicator; a plus + symbol OR a - symbol or line near one lead.
