This seems to be a Lorenz Stuggart made version of said E83CC, yet I'm basing this on what appears to be four silver climped corner post, as it's hard to make out the type of getter from your photo. But it makes matters much easier for you to study the internal structure on any given brand, because in the end, as most commercial tubes lacked said tell tales versus their inductrial of military counterparts - and seeming that many are relabeled according to the shortage of certain makes from some companies during these times, I'd say as a general rule if nothing else learn your tubes made between say 1947-59, as many of the ones made after 1960, began to same similar especially the ones under the Philips banner or wing between the periods of 1960-1971.

And owning true vintage Tungram from the mid 50s|60s, along side both Valvo | Lorenz | Siemens 1950s version, I'm still inclined to say that while I adore the German makes for their sense of accuracy and transparency, said vintage of Tungsram's remain my favorite all around tubes, yet in the end it's the tandem of said Tungsram | Valvo and NEC 12AX7s within either of my tube Integrated's in which I've found offer the best balance between detailing and refinement, as it's the combinations of said tubes which brings it all together.

Yet, I'd be wrong........, in which case, forgive my outbreak.
