Hi mike.In class A the load seen by each tube is raa/2 whilst in class B the load seen is raa/4. In class AB the impedance changes at cut off of the second tube.
The reason for raa/2 during class A is that both tubes are actively dirving the load and each delivers half the power. The tubes are effectively driving the load in parallel - one may be anti-phase but so is its half of the transformer load.

Nice job. Looks quite comclusive that the laod presented to each tube, or the load applied to each tube is indeed a-a/2.Regardles what could be said about the situation, or why it is happening, it is hard to wonder how it could be mistaken for a-a/4.
thanks for posting the data for inspection,
live long and prosper,
