I would tend to think the opposite. I read a lot of electronics industry mags from the 1940s and 50s.
A tube manufacturers in the war years would set a different (tighter) tolerances for different QC checks during the manufacturing process, as well as on completed tubes. Same construction, same tube in most cases, but a greater assurance that it meets or exceeds specs and performance, and that's what the military needed....assurance that those tubes put in use in rockets, jets, ships, radios in the jungle, etc., operated, they best they could with minimal failures.
