Your schema seems to be OK, as you can see pin 3 is not used in EL39 and could be used to connect anode cap. in fairly simple EL39/EL34 adapter.Now, the datasheet does not have any triode connection curves so it is not very clear for me what grid bias needs.
As you can see EL32 is a different beast.
EL38 is almost the same as EL39 just switch pin 1 and 6 (or connect together if p1 is not on the ground on the amplifier to have EL39/EL38 adapter)
About curves, this is mostly the case for many pentode, Tomas will probably get a pair of el39 from DL box of tube even if the concern is for infinity, I'm pretty sure i will be able to extrapolate bias grid voltage for eternity. If not the best would be to measure it once strapped with a curve tracer (Utracer3++ or 6, etracer ...) os ask if someone have it in one of the user forum...
