The yellow film caps fit those Philco tubular caps just fine. 
And if you read my blog articles, you noticed that I used hot glue to reseal them after I restuffed them.
Philco used that type of capacitor from the model 511 series (1928) until models 76 and 95 (1929). They switched to the bakelite blocks in 1930.
As I recall, the 511 series had the resistance wire wound on the outside of the tubular capacitor bodies. I don't remember right now if model 86 was the same, or not. Model 87 does not have the resistance wire on the outside - it is on the inside of the capacitor body, just like in model 65.
