Red Tantalum Capacitor marked V1 or H1?

I was looking at a thermal printhead at work today and noticed it had what looked to be a tantalum capacitor however it was red and marked with a line for polarity.·What struck me as odd was that it didn't follow conventional size markings. One was marked as a "V1" on the cap and the other was marked "H1" Does anyone know where I could find a cross reference chart for this numbering system? Odd enough they both measured out at .1uF

Anyone seen these before? What is special about them?

I have googled and checked Digi and Allied with no luck...

    Thanks for looking guys! I found that Panasonic has an alternate marking system on some caps, V = 35vdc and H = 50vdc.
