That is correct. Some of those mica caps also look suspect. Looks like one paper cap had exploded from being shorted.
I agree with them that say replace all paper caps, and, electrolytics so you will have a trust-worthy set.
I also see why the vertical has fold over, more bad caps. The audio caps are always bad. And, I've actually found damaged controls from shorted caps.
