Tube testing is not that complicated
even the simple 'suitcase' testers can determine if the tube will amplify voltage.
I think your tube seller may be trying to preempt you from asking for a return.
Yes, there are variations of circuit, and different topologies - however tubes are made to a specific spec. and as such is capable of being used in ANY amp where the designer/manufacturer has designated that tube acceptable.
Having a spare set is a Great Idea, and I encourage that you make sure you have a set!
Happy Listening
