I believe they are a variation of the Sprague Bumblebee caps, you read the value on those like you do a resistor.

See the attachment below for a chart on how to read bumblebee caps.

Yes, they are paper caps and should be replaced. Maybe it's too late, but I strongly suggest you replace the caps one at a time instead of clipping them all out at once.
