Underneath, the celluoid insulator (with the little tabs) remains. It is stuck on there good! I don't see any possibility of removing it without destroying the winding underneath.
Can I just leave it?
Can I wrap it with a piece of tape, then wrap the new winding on top where the old one was?

As Rosanne Rosannadanna would say "Never mind."
I used a little heat and eventually the celluloid strip cracked and broke off mainly in one piece. The primary and secondary seem to remain electrically sound. So I think I am in business.
Thanks,
