A guy from Australia is recapping an old mono amp and ran across this
capacitor, described as a "suppressor" in his manual.

The diagram suggests it can be replaced with three discrete
non-polarized caps connected as shown on the case.

I don't recall seeing one like this before. Anything more to add?

Only that it appears to be made witrh the proper "X" and "Y"
capacitors.


Yes, it's a delta suppression capacitor.
They are still made, typically used in vacuum cleaners and sewing machines.
Its leads have the old British colour-coding.
Also, someone has made a very poor job of replacing the mains lead..
