That makes me wonder if it's a replacement?
Maybe at the dealer when they replaced the HV caps?

It could also very well be that the mixer tube really should be a 6AU6 and not as 6AG5 as shown in the tube layout?

I tried looking up that tuner part# but came up empty.



My Meck TV also has a Sarkes Tarzian Tuner in it as well, but mine is original to the TV and mine uses only 2 tubes.
