I admire your attention to authenticity. Really impressive. I've thought about re-stuffing capacitors but when I do I have this premonition that when I die and my estate is auctioned off to the highest bidder, in box lots and bags full of course, that my radios are bought by other collectors who will be conscientious and pull the chassis and note "hmm, never been recapped" and begin recapping the sucker without even powering up the set :-)
Put a note inside your cabinet telling what you did.
