Yes, that 0.015uF from the AC line to ground should be a Y type safety cap and it's the only one in this set. Safety caps are designed to fail safely (i.e. not burst into flames or explode!) if there is a power surge.
Back in the days when they designed and built these radios there were no such thing as safety caps. They just used the same old paper caps as used in the rest of the radio circuits.
