The three largest caps in the middle of the chassis are the ones that have been restuffed (so far). Unlike the two black .05 uF caps, the 0.2 uF cap only had the actual part inside the outer sleeve - not another manufacturer's sleeve. (Although it was probably made by another manufacturer, please read on...)
And, yes, Mike...at one time, Philco did make their own capacitors. All of the caps inside those bakelite blocks that everyone loves to hate were all made by Philco. But after a 1938 strike, Philco began purchasing more and more parts from outside suppliers. You can read about it in the second to last paragraph on this page:
