If they used the voltage and current specified on the data sheet, transconductance should match too - so 12AX7 at 250V, 1.2 mA should be 1600, at 100V, 0.5 mA should be 1250. Some tubes will have a graph of transconductance vs. current - for instance the GE data sheet shows 400 at 0.1 mA, 1900 at 2.0 mA (both at 100V). All these in micromhos, or uA/V (same thing. Move decimal left three places for millimhos or mA/V.
