Strictly speaking, older caps often had a black band to designate "outside foil". That end was usually connected to ground as a form of shielding in bypass or similar applications. It is not true polarization; that is, you could reverse the connections and it would not make the cap fail/disintegrate as with electrolytics.
Allied or Just Radios are sources of replacement high-voltage caps.
