[sdiy] What are these Capacitor's type ???

[J. Verhoeven]

Looks like PIO (paper in oil), can you crack one open?

Found this on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Vintage-Sangamo-Green-Molded-Oil-Capacitors-0-25uF-400VDC-/221180959971?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item337f699ce3

If that statement is correct, indeed PIO.
