In a 2-component, parallel circuit, the components are in series with
each other and they are in series with the L of the conductors used to
connect them.

I see the two, equal values of C and two equal values of L - in the two
Cu straps.

The blocking caps' VHF-resonance is in the VHF-resonant anode circuit.
