Hi,
I have a blown cap that I cannot find a new replacement and would appreciate help finding a good substitution, as well as a cap this one has vomited all over which I would also like to replace as well as a precaution. [Warning graphic pictures included]
To what I could find online the blown capacitor is a filter caps for the sewing machine, while I know they are not strictly necessary I would like to install them back, cheer up my mum a bit.

I cant find a new replacement for this cap at all, but know enough to avoid old stock of these because of plastic cracking issues. I have no idea what the MP, CP2, or GPC stand for. Can I replace this with a X2-class? Why is it paper, must it be paper? Are there any benefits to paper? Many questions on this one.
So far can only find this paper one around my neck of the woods [

All the other numbers on this cap confuse me and would love to hear an explenation of what they are. No idea what type it is I just assume it's paper like the other one. Am including a picture of the same type of cap just the one that was not vomited on and easier to read.
N.B. My mother is quite attached to this sewing machine so my head is on the line and cheapening out for a few € saving on two caps is absolutely out of the question.
PS: Can include a photo of the whole board if someone is interested to study it for fun.
