I just got home from work, later tonight I'll see if I can give a data sheet reference with part numbers. Do you see any markings on those capacitors. If they are what I think they are, the makings should be on the top of the capacitor. In your picture, I see no markings, maybe it's just the picture. KEMET manufacturer's logo is a capitol "K" with a line above and below the K. They have a pretty good silk screen process, making there cap's fairly easy to ID. Try putting a small magnet on the cap, there should be a strong magnetic pull!
The picture in my post is from scrappyme's pictures above...i just downloaded and blew it up after reading Tantalum Recycler's response saying there were no Ta Caps on the boards he posted.
Like you, I'm familiar with a TA Cap made by Kemet that strongly favors the cap shown.
