No, they are nothing at all like a 350B.

The 5932 is a tube that is not terribly well known, it is really a very ruggedized 6L6GB as it does not have the voltage ratings of a 6L6GC, and came in three versions. The ones in the pictures are the dual plate version and that is a very nice sounding tube. It also came in a single plate version that is not so great sounding and a version that had a large hole in the plate which is terrible sounding.

A word of caution, though - the 5932 has a very large base and amps with close sockets may be challenged, and the 5932 generates a lot of heat.
