crosley: 56TC-L

I am currently working on recapping my 56TC-L, while buying my capacitors I ran into a problem. The schematic shows that the radio has a two section 15uF/15uF capacitor, but my actual radio has a three section 20uF/40uF/80uF capacitor. One of the four wires on my three section capacitor has been cut, so I'm assuming that only two of the three sections are connected. So do find a capacitor like mine then use trial and error to find which wire go's unconnected, or do I go with the schematic and find a two section 15uF/15uF capacitor. Please help.

 I would fit a 33 + 47µF firecracker type, e.g. from AES (tubes and more) for less than 7 bucks.
The 47 first at the rectifier, the 33 following the field coil.

Good luck!
