2) These may be quite old, although they have never been used. (Spares
for
radar installation?)  Other than checking the capacitance on my trusty
Wavetek and bringing them up to 15kV and seeing if they hold the charge
for
a reasonable time (electrostatic voltmeter for low loss), is there any
way
that I can check that they're OK?

Absolutely.  Since they're real old, you probably don't have much use
for them anyways.
Just hook them up and try them.  You'll find soon enough if they'll work
or not.  Just wear
your safety goggles.  You'll find an answer much quicker trying this
than trying to research
the specs on the capacitors on the internet etc...
