Presuming that they are series wired and intended for UK mains, then they must be about 30/32 volts each.
Double check that they ARE for UK mains though, 8 lamps in series is more of a USA thing, 8 lamps each 15/16 volts for series use on 120 volts.
Replacement lamps must be the same current as well as the same voltage, unless replacing them all.
32 volt MES lamps are still made, but are unlikely to match the originals.
