The FBP/FJP tubes have an orange-red color to me, while the earlier ones were closer to actual red. Placed side by side showing the same color bar pattern, my CTC-7 with CYP tube gets closer to actual red than the later Philco with FBP does. Since I just got a good AXP for the CTC-4, I can confirm that the AXP gets even better (what I would call more accurate) color than the CYP but at reduced brightness.
Sometime in the future I'll be doing a full writeup of all 3 tubes, so people can see the actual differences. It's slight, but perceptible.
