Hats off to you, Sir, I have a great respect for this attention to detail!
I must admit that for my latest project (zenith console) I have not restuffed. The old caps will be kept, though, along with the chassis, so it is always an option, and the record of component style is maintained.
Interesting that you found other manufacturers caps alongside the Zenith branded components. I found the same in the 1947/48 12H090, with Zenith (the majority), Sprague and Aerovox represented. There were no signs of repair or rework, so it seems this was factory practice as you concluded.

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
