Philips 6BQ5 same as Amperex 6BQ5/EL84?

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I just bought some 6BQ5's advertised as Philips 6BQ5. It says "Hammond" on the tube "made in Germany."
Internal structure looks exactly like some Amperex (labelled Zenith) 6BQ5 tubes I have that are "Made in Holland."
What's the story, and can you point to some pictures of Philips and Philips Miniwatt EL84/6BQ5 tubes?
