Never seen in small 9 [in tubes, but in 2A3's and the like.

Kinda hard to tell from the photo but originally those prongs on the mica sheets are supposed to crush against the glass envelop to center the structure within the tube. I suspect the mica is undersized, and the wing added in order tension the assembly.

One side of the mica shows the points not deformed as it should
