Sal, don't worry about the polarity of caps at least in your radio. Even the 1 and 2 mfd caps were not polarized but could be replaced properly with polarized caps installed properly. I used Solen Fast caps which are non polarized but a little pricey. If the connections appear to be original on the parts in question and not changed I personally would just follow how it is. Philco was famous for making a lot of changes in a model chassis with time. If original connections, it no doubt worked!
Best, Jerry
