The purpose of the caps notwithstanding:
You need X-rated caps anywhere where a cap goes between L and N.
You need a Y-rated cap anywhere where a cap goes between L to PE (chassis) or N to PE.
Speaking of a misunderstood caps between Chassis and L/N, I had a Philco 16B, I think it was, where I accidentally isolated the screw holding the GND lug of a backelite block to the chassis. I forgot how I made it. But I did.
I spent two days trying to understand why I had such a pronounced hum.
