Two modern two terminal lytics with the negatives of each connected together to the black lead. 50uF is not a common value so go with a 47uf. As a general rule that era of cap had 20-50% tolerance on capacitance so anything within 20% tolerance of the original value should work fine. If there is no power transformer in your set (as I suspect is the case) the originals are probably rated for 150V so use 160V lytics. On capacitors the voltage rating is supposed to be the maximum safe voltage they will take across them before they go BOOM...So it is always fine to use a higher voltage part than the original as a replacement, but it is BAD to use a lower voltage part.
