RE: I have a very early version of the 2.5V TJ Mesh Plate (perferations, not real mesh)...

Well, the ST build fixes the top to the glass with some mica. The design of this mica varied a fair bit, usually little nubs, the Tung-Sol mouse ears, and the 5881/6098-style additional pads...

The folks I talked to all said this was assembly for assembly alignment. As with all the internal features that often seem taken as hallmarks of THe Right Tube, I do have my doubts as to their intentional addition for anything else other than improving and shortening the ramp up to full specification production when it came time to execute a type run.

There have been plenty of leaner tubes through my hands, though this has mostly been base to glass. Sift a big pile of 6SN7's and see...:)
cheers,
