Help with old Auto-Lite Capacitors

I have a 1930's Rogers-Majestic (made in Toronto, Canada) Console Radio Type 6M631. I haven't had any luck finding any mention of this model on the internet anywhere. No specs, no schematic diagrams, none for sale, not a picture. I'd like to do a recap and I've managed to read the values from the actual caps for 8 out of 11 of them. The last three are 2 inch axials made of paper with well sealed resin? ends and have nothing on them except 'Auto-Lite', 'Tiger' and a 5 digit part number (each one has a different part number). I'm guessing they were added at some point.

Is there any way to determine the value of these through looking up the old Auto-Lite part numbers somewhere? I haven't found anywhere yet.

If not I'll probably end up leaving them in and hoping for the best rather that guessing at the mf values for them.
