I found them! They were in a bag for updating the K2, but my K2 was 
already up to date and so I did not need them. They are very small shiny 
dark yellow with short legs and a "101" label.

ok, identified both. The 33pF 50V is pale brown, and the C5F is shiny yellow 
and larger. 

Thank you very much for your quick help. 

But when I sorted the capacitors, I found that I miss one of the "151" types, 
150pF, 1KV, I have only 4 of them packed and there should be 5 after the 
parts inventory.
I'll have to ask "spares at elecraft.com" for support.
It is recommended and a good idea to count the parts in advance, although I 
would always drop this part of the manual :-(
