I had the exact same issue!
Toddlers, not knowing what to order, radio... lol

I've read somewhere that the microfarads (uF or mF) are likely paper caps, while the picofarads (pF or mmF) are likely ceramics or mica. So I used that as a starting point when ordering.

It is not a definitive answer, but a good starting point.

If someone else has a better way of telling, I'm all ears!
