Sorry, didnt note the G call!

The LR is arguably the best of CD's offerings for amp service. I just wish they would offer the LR and/or LX in 500V.
Ive used both series and very happy.

The latter would be my guess, but I didnt think the LR was out that early.
I can't find a press release from CDE and there's no date on their 
catalogue page but FWIW Digikey didn't begin carrying them until 2011

Call CD
I've emailed them (calls from the UK are expensive). I'll let you know 
what they say.
I don't have anything to test the ESR on such big capacitors. I've run one 
of them (slowly) up to 450v and the leakage current is around 200uA. After 
an hour the capacitance measures 412uF. This doesn't prove much but at 
least at first sight they appear OK.
