I have never seen a code like that on a electrolytic capacitor before :O

Only reason I was able to find it was from this gem circa 1938… maybe that’s why!:

"dry electrolytic" that's why, not come across one yet, from what I hear, they very rarely fail, they can, but not like the normal electrolytic caps.
