I know that Westinghouse was working on a single gun color CRT about the same time, so they had the capability.

Not sure who made these tubes besides RCA. Mine is also 4 13 date code.
Here is the best I could do with a phone camera to get a picture of the phosphor dots; the holes I mentioned show up mostly on the blue and red here.
