The tubes in the photos are the later production I believe. Also, having lived in the Czech Republic for many years and having had at least 10,000 Tesla tubes over the years, I have never seen boxes with Tesla "Electron Tubes" printed on the boxes (first red flag). Also a few years back there were a number of Chinese tubes introduced into the market as Tesla KT88 with print that came off very easily and boxes made from very cheap cardboard. Construction was obviously Chinese. I would be cautious of the 2 tubes on the right!

Early Tesla KT88 and KT88 Vršovice had brown bases and were as good as the GEC made in U.K. tubes.
