Does anyone know what type of kadee couplers to use on funaro & camerlengo coach and combine kits, including the boonton and stillwell coaches?

I'm not familiar with these specific kits, but they look to be very similar to the narrowgage cars I build. We use 714 couplers in HOn3. For standard gauge, the #4 was a similar form factor, but slightly different design. The package specifically states it's good for "wooden floor car kits" but should work just fine with similar plastic kits.

Unforetunately , Kadee seems to no longer be making the #4, but they should be easy enough to find.

The #15 Logging Car Couplers have a similar low profile draft gear and may also work. They have a plastic draft gear versus the metal draft gear in the #4. They are also discontinued, but will also work for you if you can find some.
