Yes - it's just a different construction - wind the wire around a ceramic cylinder, dip it in a ceramic paste, and bake.

Note some green resistors are film "MOL" resistors made by either Corning or Mallory. Green was Mallory's color, and light blue was Corning. Easy to tell - smooth in the middle, and matte color throughout. (Brown MOL resistors came from Welwyn - they also made most of the Workman stuff years ago..). The MOLs will work in almost every instance just fine - they are naturally non-inductive, so even better in high freq stuff.
