Sylvania 5751 3 mica gray plate (different varieties?)

I have been buying some Sylvania 5751 gray plate 3 mica round getter tubes lately. I initially liked them. They have a lot of high end energy. After more time, it became apparent that they are tilted to the high end and a bit unrefined (maybe this is just the imbalance of high end energy making them sound a little tizzy). The tube that Joe (Joe's tube lore) describes can't be this tube I am using. He describes a very lush mid with maybe a loss of a bit of detail. The question is are there more than one variety of Sylvania 3 mica grayplate 5751? Is there maybe an older variety that Joe is talking about with a square getter? Anyone with experience with this tube type please chime in. Hopefully there are people who have this tube in different iterations. Thanks for your responses.
