From my reading of the schematic (which may or may not be correct)...

The film resistors are placed in series (the 2x158k) because generally film resistors are rated for something like 250vDC or less, and these guys have >=320vDC across them collectively. You'll need to check the voltage rating for the Caddocks to see if they work here.

The wirewounds placed in parallel (2x150k) need a healthy rating, so the 6W rating noted. A Mills 12W would probably work here ratings-wise, but will it fit?

No matter what component we're talking about, it's always best to check voltage/ wattage ratings.

Regards,
John
