Hmmm, googled it?
i reckon alan would know,my guess is polyester
Could be tantalum
Or metalized polys
Doh
late 60's early 70's if that helps?
They are not tantalum (tantalum capacitors need to be biased). I would say they are polyester.

I wouldnt stick a polyester cap in anything personally so polypropylene ones of the same value will probably be spot on.

I have some new unused poly's I bought forty years ago that look very similar.
Ah - so they are polypropylene.
