6922 Sovtek Variances ???

The earlier 6922 Sovteks look exactly like a Svetlana 6H23P-EB, I have both in my hands and they are identical, right down to the O getter halo. The newer Sovteks are not similar at all, they have a totally different getter halo? What gives? Can anyone shed some light on these findings?

Thanks

Who would have thought five years ago that one day we would be comparing various versions of Sovtek tubes and figuring out which one sounds better.....

Just a random observation, as I had also realized that I have two types of Sovtek 6922s in my tube box. The newer ones have a saucer as the getter (w/ shiny plates) vs a ring (and grey plates) you find in older Sovteks.

Look at the trend. These Sovteks will one day be worth over $100 each! I have these Russian 6H23N-EB tubes that I bought of eBay many years ago for cheap. Now they are called "Premium NOS Russian military tubes".

Slates:
"Plates" is that lower 1/3 section of the tube structure. Kind of look like a rib cage.
