[sdiy] What is this capacitor in the JP8?

[Neil Johnson]

As I just posted on MW:

0.47uF 50V. And yes, some electrolytics are bipolar.
The green caps are most likely Mylar (which is just a trade name for a
cheap polyeter).

I'm guessing BP stands for bipolar, but I thought electrolytics were polarised ,not bipolar. At any rate the cap looks like an electrolytic from a photo of the module board I have, and the silkscreen of the module board would seem to confirm the one in the photo is indeed C44.
