Bill,
You've got the 0.02uF and 10kV correct. My #94 Plastic
Capacitors Inc. catalog does not list any LP prefixes and I'll be
darned if I can make any sense out of their type designations.
Plastic Capacitors Inc. is in Chicago Il. (312) 489-2229 (at
least that was their phone number in '94) Give them a call, I'll bet
that they will be more than happy to tell you what type of cap you
have.
