Again - just replace with 600 or 630 WVDC rated capacitors. There is no need for capacitors with higher rated working voltages in these old Philco radios.

FWIW - 30-4455 is 0.1 uF, 400 WVDC. I could not find 30-4481 (.002 uF). But to reiterate - capacitors with 600 or 630 WVDC rating are just fine as replacements.
