Both are aluminized. Do the cap numbers mean anything? I can slide the yoke over the greeni's broken pin cap so I can repair it with JB Weld then wrap it with thin plastic wrapping tape and try it in the 21CT55. I would still like to know the detailed differences in phosphor between the two.....Tom

This would indicate that phosphor formulation was changed without changing the tube type number. The green-green-bronze tube undoubtedly has an all-sulfide screen. Not sure about the other one - can you find date codes on the tubes?
