...C800 C801 and C802 are just coupling caps, as such even if they are polerized they can be put in either way although some circuits may pick up less hum noise when...

This is not right.

The polarized caps need to be installed correctly or they will be damaged by the reversed voltage applied to them. Worst case with higher voltages, they will explode. In the case of this circuit, they will probably just be damaged and either open up or short out.
