Safety caps are used on the ac line. They are designed to always fail safe (open) instead of failing and creating a short from the line to chassis.

Your orange drops can be used on the line but I believe there is a 50/50 chance they could either fail open or cause a short.

Otherwise orange drops can be used anywhere where else in the radio where an old paper cap was. Back in the day I dont believe they had safety caps so their only choice was to use paper caps.
