Object Complement or Subject Complement?

Is the highlighted Complement a Subject Complement or Object Complement?

Where Subjects are followed by the verb be (am, is, was, etc.) the following Complement is the Subject Complement. So %%PW,0,ARE,Subject Complement%%: %%WL,0%%.

The other cases add to or 'explain' the Direct Object: %%PW,1,ARE,Object Complement%%: %%WL,1%%.
