6922 Sovtek Variances ???

The earlier 6922 Sovteks look exactly like a Svetlana 6H23P-EB, I have both in my hands and they are identical, right down to the O getter halo. The newer Sovteks are not similar at all, they have a totally different getter halo? What gives? Can anyone shed some light on these findings?

Thanks

Frank exactly like you described, except I don't see shiny plates?
The new electro harmonix 6922 regular pin is also like the late model Sovteks,
I can't see the difference at all.

At last, a grrreat use for those old Sovteks. I can save them for future resale. Who'd a thunk! At last a perfect solution. Are used pulls going to be valuable too? :-)

Look at the trend. These Sovteks will one day be worth over $100 each! I have these Russian 6H23N-EB tubes that I bought of eBay many years ago for cheap. Now they are called "Premium NOS Russian military tubes".

Slates:
"Plates" is that lower 1/3 section of the tube structure. Kind of look like a rib cage.
