Decoding a capacitor...

Well, I'm almost done recapping this Zenith console. I replaced a bunch of those stupid striped black capacitors (black beauty, black beastie, bumblebee, whatever), along with a couple of others. But this one I'm not so sure about. It's a domino capacitor, but it's larger, and clearly not mica. It's also not the micamold paper capacitors I'm so used to seeing. It's an Aerovox. Now, looking at it, there are (to me) two ways to read this...

Brown Green Red, black = .0015, 20%

Brown Black Red = .01

And, I don't have the schematic for this set - it's a relatively straightforward set, so I didn't go down to the library to get the schematic. I would assume this is paper, and should be replaced - correct?

Thanks!
