A random check of 10 schematics shows about 50-50 use of pin 7 or 2. Since *either* side of the directly heated cathode/filament can serve as the cathode connection, either pin can be used.

Add: Looking at several 1B3s, there is an internal shield that appears to be connected to pin7, but that should not matter either, as there is only a volt (1.25) difference from one side of the filament to the other.
