Tubes from behind the "iron curtain" were common in the west in that time period, some with the big brand names on them. A lot of Russian tubes were marked with "England" or "Germany" as COO. I remember seeing my first Russian 6P3 in this timeframe at a RadioShack. It was labeled 6L6GC and "made in Germany". As we now know, a 6P3 is far from the GC version as far as max ratings go. More more like a 6L6GB. They looked strange too with a narrower glass envelope on a fat Bakelite like base.
