From the pictures this tube almost looks brand new.
And it is confirmed to be a 15GP22.
What do you experts think?

I have seen a LOT of 15GP22's in our quest to attempt a rebuild. A good set of getters would be silver to possibly charcoal gray wtih some silver in the margins. I have seen getters that look just like these before. The tubes with getters like these were leakers. IE: they had too much air in them to function.
It is likely that when you apply voltage to the filiments, they will either light dimly and/or burn out.
There is always an outside chance that I am mis-reading what I see in the photos, but I would not be optimistic. I have seen bad tubes with getters that look far better than the ones pictured in these photos. Still, you will need to test it anyhow to tell for sure.
