 I would use the 47 uf if you have them laying around, or a combo of those and the 33 uf, and stuff them inside the old filter cap tube just for neatness. Interesting how the set has a cathode capacitor on the power output tube, the last few late 40s early 50s Philcos I worked on didn't have one, they had the resistor but not that small electrolytic included.
Regards
Arran
