Always go with the same or higher voltage. The voltage rating on a cap is the max input voltage they can take before going BANG(!), and it has always cost money to raise that voltage in any given cap...So if the original designers chose a higher value than normal it was usually for a GOOD reason.

If my math is right the .005 should be within 20% tolerance, and work fine. Honestly most radio circuits can still function with the paper caps replaced by ones an entire order of magnitude or more (x10 or /10) off on capacitance value, albeit a good portion of cases show significant changes in performance and audio quality (and not always for the worst).
