IMHO, CAPR maybe round (circular body) if looked from the XZ-view and
"somewhat rectangular"/"smallish ellipsoid" in the XY-view
(footprint/landpattern) as with "Ceramic Disc" capacitors.

The CAPR-508P-381W-1016L-1168H__Kemet_C340.fp referenced on the page in
the above mentioned URL, is a "Ceramic Conformally Coated • Radial •
(Golden Max) Catalog F3101" capacitor (according to Kemet) with a
rectangular shape (rounded corners) in the XZ-view and an oblong shape
in the XY-view.
Note the word "Radial".

It's the XZ-view which we do not use in pcb footprints/landpatterns that
causes IPC and friends some confusion, as the IPC interpretation (of
max. four words) is not enlightened with pictures (saying more than a
thousand words).

OTOH, I may be confused as well :)

No discussion needed on CAPPR :)
