testing tubes similar numbers

hi all i have a 6dq5 tube to test but i only have a listing for a 6dq6 could this be tested. and others with the same 3-4 digits but with some other letters on the end confuses me as to if i can test tubes with extra digits on the end, or should the first 3-4 letters or numbers be the same to test no matter whats on the end.

Similar but different tubes in rating and some pin connections. Compare the suggested subs on the attached.

If it does'nt sub out to anything thats listed on your chart, I would'nt trust testing it. Your tester manufacturer might have updated charts someplace.
So many different tubes over a 50 year timespan...thats why I own more than 1 tester.
