MR65B Berger capacitor

I recently re-acquired an MR65B I bought at a rummage sale in the latter 70s for $25.

Checking out the elecrolytics, I found a pair of caps between the output tube cathodes and the front-panel volume control. These are 10u at 25v. They are marked as made by Berger, and look nothing like the usual caps used by Mac in that era (which are mostly Sprague) -- in fact, they look more like the sort of oil-filled sealed caps (such as Vitamin Q), though I don't see any glass.

Does anyone know what these are?

In my experience, those caps were as common as mud, used in many a Fisher and Mac pieces I've seen. Nothing special or unusual about them except that by now they are invariably quite compromised.
