If the original is rated at 630volts or less then your good. As a general rule in radios a 10-20% tolerance in capacitance value is just fine.

What kind of bakelite block is it? The Philco block-caps that bolted to the chassis often had two caps and maybe some resistors inside, so you would need to look up the part number and verify the contents before ordering replacement parts...And if it is across the power cord then you should get AC rated replacements.

Are you planning to restuff it? Philco blocks I recommend restuffing, but other types would have to be installed in a DARN expensive/rare set for me to think about it.
