The 12AT7 is a double triode used as the oscillator and mixer.
In addition you likely have:

1-6BJ6 rf amplifier, 2-12BA6 if amplifiers, 1-12AU6 limiter, 1-19T8 fm discriminator/am detector/audio amplifier, 1-35C5 audio output and a selenium rectifier.

If it were my set, I would not bother with the luminous paint, or perhaps just paint over the paint on the tips of the hands...it would be very difficult to do the numbers.
