Data sheet comparisons indicate that 6L6, 7355 and 6P3c-E are similar in most respects, but one outstanding difference is Ra: 6L6 ~ 22K, 7355 ~ 43K and 6P3c-E ~ 65K under similar operating conditions.

While not directly answering your questions, I've always found the 6P3c-E produces less power for a given THD in every 6L6 app I've subbed them into, usually about 20% less. As a result, I've never considered them as a 100% compatible 6L6 type. Based on specs alone, I can't see how these things could ever operate successfully in an EL34 app...and yet many report stellar sonic results with this sub. Full disclosure: never tried this sub myself. OTOH, the 6P3c-E is rugged and I kinda like the sound in the 6L6 apps I've tried them in. And they are (were?) cheap enough to be disposable test subjects for initial power up.
