In Europe there were never any round screen sets sold to the public. The UK was the first European country to have a colour service (1967) closely followed by Germany. All sets had rectangular tubes by then. The Mullard A63-11X was the commonest type. 25" delta gun.

There are a few round screen sets in the UK that were made by Bush and Ekco for colour experiments in the 1950s and early 1960s. These used imported RCA CRTs and in many cases some imported valves for the line scan/EHT. A few survive in the hands of collectors and have been restored.
