[Boatanchors] Choke voltage rating

I guess I'm asking for reassurance, but:
I have a choke marked Milwaukee Transformer Co. (various numbers), 4 Hy @ 160 MA
DC, ... WV 500. It's encapsulated in a nice steel box and also marked "MIL-T-27
Grade 1 Class A" Obviously potted and the case looks soldered shut. Porcelain
terminals.
It's probably OK to operate this choke in true ham spirit in a 750 volt supply,
right? The case will be well grounded so the worst thing that can happen will
be a blown fuse.
On the other hand, maybe someone will say "no, you really have to believe the
voltage ratings on this kind of stuff!"
