Thanks for the suggestions. I purchased the RelCaps on eBay and they were stated to be RTEs and picture that went along with the listing showed them marked 'RTE'. The caps I received, however, were marked RelCap but not RTE. When I contacted the seller he naturally claimed that they were indeed RTEs. I was anxious to try them and didn't want the bother of returning them to the seller overseas and there was no doubt that they were RelCap polystyrenes so I kept them to try. The result was disappointing as they didn't sound as good as the stock Marchand provided polypropylene caps which led me to the purchase of the Wimas and ultimately to the Russian Teflons. If they were not RTE's that may explain the disappointment but in theory standard RelCap polystrenes shouldn't sound worse than the polypropylenes but they did.
