If you are definitely changing that cap, then just cut the strap....They don't make new caps in that mechanical form factor anymore, so your replacement will be mounted differently.

That is an FP twist lock style can. It can contain 1 to 4 individual caps inside it. The can its self typically is the common negative (some common positive cans were made) for all caps it contains. All terminals that come out of the metal of the can are the (usually negative) common can terminal. The terminals that come out the brown/black insulative wafer on the end are the positive terminal(s) (the number of them tells you how many sections).

That can is definitely labeled with the values, you just need to get the can loose to read them.
