The GZ34 was introduced in 1954.
Those are not GZ34s, and they are not 1930s.
Octal base was first introduced in 1935 by RCA for metal tubes.
They are in fact GZ32s, most likely Brimar made. Whether Brimar or Mullard, they will have codes somewhere. If they are not on the bottom base, then they are likely after 1954.
