Bought and sold a set like that about 60 years ago. Mine was an earlier model that used a 3BY6 instead of the better circuit using a 3BU8.
The outward appearance was similar.
Thanks. I actually removed these and used my band saw. Then a few passes over 220 grit on a flat surface squares the end. Seems like a lot of work, but by using a very large (radiator sized ) soldering iron I'm able to heat the ground lugs and squeeze them straight with a flat nose pliers, then carefully wiggle them free. Space permitting you certainly could hack them off using a Zona saw while they're still attached to a chassis.
