Tung-Sol 6520 - test questions

I have some Tung-Sol 6520 tubes to test. Doing some research shows it's a version of the 6AS7.

I'm confused by what I'm seeing on my Hickok testers charts.

The 539B wants to test it as a rectifier @ 6.3 volts. No micromho value. Read the Rectifier and Diodes OK area of the meter.

The 6000A wants to test it @ 7.5 volts, with a average new test value of 2600 on the chart.

I'm lost. This is a tube I'm not familiar with.
