These were EX military high quality caps surplus to WW2 requirements. They would have been very expensive compared with paper types but were available cheaply in huge numbers during the immediate post war period.

Considering that Pye played a major role in producing radar and other military equipment during the war, it comes as no surprise that that they must have had huge stocks available at the end of the hostility's.
It amazes me that at 70+ years old that the Sprague metal clad caps show no signs of leakage, they obviously are extremely well sealed, are they the paper in oil type?
