I took a guess on another thread that these have similar plate and top mica supports as 6N8S, but am not sure.Does anyone know who made tubes for RTRA?

VT-231 suggests pre-1950. FE5 suggests 1945, but not too sure on the FE. A quick google found this ebay postHello there, my most recent purchase is a pair of these. I guess they are what might be called type 1’s as there are just 2 support rods? Do the numbers give the date of manufacture? Or can it only be tied down to 40’s? Or 50’s

Original box agrees that LE 5 and FE 5 are 1945.
Edit: box stamped April 1945.
