It is best to never assume a capacitor is discharged. Although the film capacitors used for -2kV here are of smaller value than the electrolytics you may be used to seeing in amplifiers they also have less self-discharge.
The black residue on your photos is smoke particles / dust attracted there by the high voltage. Surely you've seen similar things in tube amplifiers, maybe not as bad?
Best cleaning it, as long as it is dry no problem, once it gets damp enough (moving from cold to warm environment) trouble shows-up.
If diode side of the opto is cooked it could just be old age, more likely is that it got zapped by the -2kV arcing across (there your dust can be a cause) either the opto itself or one of the 3 ceramic capacitors previously stated.
I don't usually write things like this, but: Considering their cost, the ability to test them correctly and the extra time it will take if they cause another fault I'd just replace the 3 capacitors.
Assuming there has been an arc or other isolation fault, you ought to take some time to check the other semiconductors in that area: D930-932, T930, D933-935, Z931, T932.
Replace whatever looks bad and try again.
If you're not in a rush check the high value resistors are not open.
For the component orientations, if it was working that way before they souldn't be wrong, this could be due to PCB layout revisions. However if you want to be sure, check component references and pinouts, follow tracks... All sorts happen!
