In my humble opinion you will not know conclusively until you do a current test. I have seen tubes marked 21EAP4 that turned out to be 6.3V tubes. It's a great feeling when you discover one of these 6.3v tubes that are incorrectly marked because it almost certainly means that someone else passed it up thinking it was dead.
