I have three of these tubes sent to me by a friend, and they do sound great. It does have the exact same plate structure as the red base, but instead of double D getters they have double halo getters.
I don't have a set of red base tubes to compare them sonicly, but the friend that sent them to me say they sound different than the red base. According to him, he doesn't really like the red base tubes, he found them too warm and "tubey" sounding, he preferes the black base tubes.

Follow Ups:
Normally the brown and non black bases are considered to be low loss bases: meaning that they tend to NOT leak high voltage across the base between the pins. You will notice that many bases have ridges between the pins in order to lengthen the pathway between the pins and provide better insulation. This normally translates into more extended and clearer highs.
Of course YMMV,

I'd guess there are other differences in the tube other than the base color and getter, they are just not evident from a visual inspection.

Your input is much appreciated!
