RE: Maybe that third one is just for show?










"If the heater is covered by the plate and or cathode structure" but it's not. Look at the other 2 tubes in the picture. You can see the heater glow from top to bottom.
That tube is build like 6080 with a plate on either side of the heater/cathode/grid structure that is totally exposed at the sides and, like a 6080, you can clearly see the heater glow.
