From what I can see, the paper caps (I see five) have NOT been replaced.
One is the big 0.25uF tubular on the left, the other is market 30-4119 is on the right, then something that could be another one is under the first cap, right above it, and another one right above this one, between the two coils, and the 5th one is right below the big 0.25uF.
There should be 7 per the sch: 0.25uF (C8, with the wire wrapped about it), C4, C7 and C17 are 0.05uF; C22 and C26 is 0.01uF (after the volume pot) and C29 is 0.04uF.
It is possible that 0.01uF caps are disc ceramic and have been replaced. Not sure.
From the looks of them, they have not been touched/restuffed.

What has been changed is the electrolytic caps, you can see the two on the right, 22uF 200V.

I would change the paper caps.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
