23-xxxEx is a ROM/EPROM part number, so they may well be programmable.
E8 means they're 128KB, or 1 Megabit. The part numbers you quote are
listed in Compaq Assisted Services online catalogue at $4 apiece, so
you might still be able to get them from DEC/HP.
Is there any type number under the DEC label? Are they brown ceramic
with a quartz window in the top? If so, they're probably EPROMs, most
likely 27C1024 (64K x 16 bit). If not, they're probably one-time
PROMs, or possibly Flash. If they're EPROMs, it's unlikely you
overwrote them, unless you had them in a programmer.
