I'll bet that this capacitor did have conformity markings on it - certainly Rifa were making X and Y capacitors in the mid 1980's in this style. The stresses of across-the-line applications were appreciated, and capacitors specifically designed for this have been around since then. Whether they long-term reliable, of course, is another matter.
Must have a look tonight at my own stock, if I have any left.
