However, how would someone remove the guts from an old cap like that?
Hot air gun.
Heat it up until the wax runs, hold the tube and pull the guts out by
the lead.

You can also use a toaster oven at the lowest setting that will melt the
wax or use a heat lamp. I have used both methods successfully.
BTW Aerovox and Cornell Dubilier are both still in business:

I excluded companies whose names are still around but have obviously been
acquired by another company. It's possible that some of the ones I
listed have been merged but it isn't obvious from their web site. I'm
sure that there are more old timers than these but I only did a quick
search.
Another old time company, this time Japanese, but still around:
Calrad
