The yellow cap is part of the restoration someone did. It's not a paper cap. They used 3 modern caps to take the place of the original metal casing multisection electrolytic cap. The three that were already pointed out.
I think you are seriously confused about what you are seeing in the photo. Why on earth are you referring to a Sprague TVA1706 as a "multisection" capacitor? It's not. I already provided a link to the technical information about it. You are also acting like it's an original, 73 year old capacitor.
Maybe some better photos will help clarify things for you. Please referred to attached photos.
On a separate note -- Over in my thread about the record player restoration thread, I discovered that the bakelite block cap has NOT been restored. It contains two small 0.01uF capacitors encased in tar. I will be digging out the old ones and putting in new ones.
