OK, I got some readings now, since I swapped them out:
22 μF 40v No 1: 23.58 μF (well within in the 20% threshold)
22 μF 40v No 2: 29.80 μF unstable (kept climbing, outside specs)
10 μF 63v No 1: 11.46 μF (well within in the 20% threshold)
10 μF 63v No 2: Several attempts no reading, then a couple of readings at 11.06 μF, but unstable (kept climbing, but at times would not read at all)
2.2 μF 63V No 1: 2.63 μF (just within specs)
2.2 μF 63v No 2: 2.597 μF (within specs)
With the unstable and intermittent 10 μF capacitor, and the crazy 22 μF capacitor readings, I think I may well have found the problem. Also, those marked 2μ2 are indeed 2.2 μF. Will let you know how the cruise performs once reinstalled. With the 10 μF capacitor working intermittently, it would make sense the cruise would work and then suddenly konk out.
(Note: I corrected this post to read from nF to μF!)
