Those are not a paper cap.Not all caps are that hermetically sealed are a paper dielectric. All Sprague caps that have paper in the dielectric,have a letter P in the part number. Vit Q caps are usually 196P or 176P or 118P which is a paper and polyester dielectric. Even the Sprague Black beauties that are 160P are paper and the 160M are Mylar.Mylar is the fancy name for polyester.
