[R-390] OT: Wet or Solid Tantalum?

IIRC, the wet tantalums that I've seen in 60's HP gear have a larger
diameter at one end for the electrolyte seal. That's where the gunk
gets out and messes up the circuit board.

The ones in England, with the blurry photo, are almost certainly
solid electrolyte caps.
