the brown toffee shaped Wima’s were, shall we say, not very good, perhaps worse than Hunts.

From my experience, I would certainly agree.
Although waxed paper caps had been superseded by the plastic encapsulated type, these seem no better. I had a nasty experience with one of those blue & white plastic caps that exploded & narrowly missed my face when working on a set!
The only vintage types that seems to hold up well is the Sprague metal clad type & the Philips 'Mustard' caps.
