Yes to be safe I will replace them. I thought at first they were like a orange drop cap which I would have left in but they probably are paper. Plus I don't like the color. Edit: A few minutes later. Well I'm kind of surprised I removed the rubbery Mallory cap and ripped it open and it actually is a film cap no paper at all and was probably fine. The bump was just the rubber coating. I will leave the other 2 of this type in.
