Many thanks for the info. The 341 series do not appear in the Mullard consumer catalog,
perhaps due to cost or market, or not to conflict with Mullard types. Later versions of
341 moulding have the curved ends modified to a raised flat rim. I do not remember any
defective 341 capacitors. Agree these are later than C496, which were replaced by
C280 banded or orange dipped types, usually radial.
