I guess Bennic/Dayton/PE can label these however they want. Therefore, the MPT designation is not universal, and use of it to specify polymer content is not, apparently, irrefutable. A few Chinese manufacturers make an MPT and claim it is PP. Why they use that instead of MKP makes me a bit suspicious, but indications are that their MPT is a PP cap, despite industry conventions. Why muddy the water?
The color of the end fill material is also an indicator of which Bennic "family" these caps belong in. These are white, while the XPP, a cap with somewhat better specs, is yellow.
I apologize to everyone who has wasted their time reading or responding to my posts. I do stand by the suggestion that the precision cap offers no advantage over standard grade in coupling duty, but could be useful in crossovers. I have used Bennic XPP in that application and as couplers, and they are among the poorer sounding film caps. However, as nearly the cheapest available, they do serve a purpose. If you're taking the time and trouble to modify a circuit, you might as well spend a bit more and select a better part. If you're experimenting and interested only in saving money, these will do.
