Some time ago I found a replacement for the motor run caps for a TU-56. They
are definitely motor run caps that you need. The replacements are slightly
offsize and require a different mounting bracket.
These caps are $140 each as I recall, perhaps $70 - because I can't remember
if the price I got was for one or two. I am however, quite sure they are the
correct replacement for the motor run caps in the TU-56.
If you haven't found the replacements, let me know and I'll dig up the
info - supplier, cost, etc.
