Have yoyou tried a Telefunken 12AX7? The sonic to my ears is fairly close.
Telefunken and the Siemens tubes were stock, OEMed, pre-amp tubes,of several vintage amp makers.
Look for Oem Sherwoood (Siemens or Teles I own 3 Sherwood amps) Heath, Eico, Scott, "The Fisher" and so on. I can't say who used what other than Sherwood.
It's probably the least expensive way to get them. Smart dealers sell them as Siemens or Telefunkens OEM will not persuade them into heavy discounts. However on ebay you can find them cheaply.
Ask a vintage tube amp aficionado what to look for specifically,to get Siemens.
It is a shame that even if the amp came to me tubed up, the tubes were frequently replaced. A result caused by tube pullers or because they wore out.
