So Phil, does CE have a time machine that allows them to retrieve

did you consider that
someone may have stuck the label on an old can and returned it to CE for
credit?


** No - that is absurd.

Old caps would have used solder lugs and bent support tags.

It's a common re-labelling scam, been going on for decades with all sorts of components including ICs, power transistors and vacuum tubes.

I bought some 22uF, 450V pigtail electros once from a local dealer that turned out to have well used 22uF, 400V radial types fitted inside the can. They looked wrong because there was black rubber at both ends of the can instead of just one end.

BTW go **** yourself.
