Question on "mica" caps in Philco 40-155
#1

Looking at the parts list for the 40-155 I see that it lists 7 "mica" caps and two "silver mica" caps.  First question is why list two of them as "silver mica"?  Second, and more importantly, does anyone know if the 7 listed as "mica" are all mica?  I think four probably are since they reange in value from 5 to 250 mmfd.  The other three "mica" caps have values of 1250, 1500, and 5300 mmfd.   I'm thinking these are paper in the postage stamp cases.  Two of this big ones are hooked to the band switch and the remaining one is tied into the loop antenna.

Anyone have past experience on these?  They all look the same except the "silver mica" are a light tan case and the other dark brown with the color code.
