I believe they are all single plated.

Appear to be some nice double filament tubes. My recollection of the RCA was a very nice smooth midrange but lacking a bit of the sparkle and life you referred to. However, not the color-drained-out lifelessness of the Chinese tubes. Tung Sol I tried the 2A3 and found it to be very close to RCA, very musical and enjoyable "tube" sound, Koetsu-like in a certain way.
