As Chris said, newer caps are almost always smaller, sometimes by substantial amounts.
Could you give an example or two of a specific cap where you can't find a replacement because of size?? By this I mean tell us the original size and the dimensions of the best you came up with as far as a replacement
And are you insisting on matching the lead spacing exactly with the replacements?? If you're trying to do that I can see why it might be difficult, even in ordinary times.
I think 2 out of 5 is not the worst of odds,? and "your mileage may vary" applies.

I am not finding replacements for some of these caps that will fit in the available space and have correct lead spacing.
