No, in those days a single 0.3 uF capacitor would have been too large to fit in the bakelite block shells so they used two 0.15 uF capacitors, connected the two in parallel, and voila - 0.3 uF.
Today, 0.33 uF (modern equivalent to 0.3 uF) 630 WVDC metalized film caps are usually small enough to fit inside, depending upon the manufacturer as some still will not fit. So then it become a matter of personal choice - to replace with one 0.33 uF or two 0.15 uF caps in parallel.
