Not likely. RCA was always using parts from current stock, even when they designed the prototype colors tubes. The mask that came with the chassis is just a run of the mill 16GP4 mask, which makes sense since I've heard they simply modified a metal shell B&W tube with color guts. Indeed, the mask it came with is identical to the one in the TC168.
