What two tube dealers are saying is that the current Sovtek 6L6WGC *IS* the same tube as the mil-spec 6P3S-e. That the factory in Russia didn't change it at all, except to relabel the tube so that its label would be recognizable to modern tube buyers. I've seen various tube amp owners, both audio and guitar, write the same thing.
The "W" in 6L6WGC designates it as military grade, as opposed to the 6L6GC.
And then there is the Sovtek 6L6WXT+, which I've seen stated is also the 6P3S-e but in a standard base. Again a military grade tube.
