ending in P4 means phosphor number 4, a white-emitting phosphor, which is the fourth phosphor registered by the Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) of the Radio Manufacturers Association (RMA), now the Electronic Industries Association (EIA).

All three-color tubes end in P22, which is the designation for a three-part screen with red, green, and blue phosphors.

So, yes, all the tubes mentioned are monochrome - but I still wanted to ask if there are any unmentioned color tubes.
