I don't think I have ever seen a set where the 5U4 doesn't have its own heater winding... Only time there's another tube on the 5U4 winding it's a second 5U4 put in parallel for increased B+ current capacity...the 5U4 heater is always the B+ source so if anything else shared it the heater cathode voltage would violate tube specs.
