That is what I am talking about. Like the gray coating inside this tube for example...

I have a lot of early tubes, and like you mentioned a few 6V6 tubes that have that same gray coloring all around the tube so you can't see inside of it easily.
By the way I know what the getter and silver coatings look like, but yes this is different.
