Tube ID?

This one has no markings, I tried a microscope and freezing it, looking at an angle under bright light, etc. An ID would be appreciated. It measures 21x41mm.

Really, the Shuguang isn’t that bad a tube. A little bass-shy and pushed in the top end. Good for combo amps and lead work

I don't find much difference between the Shugaung 12AX7A and the 12AX7B.
 
Possibly a 12AT7?
The Shuguang 12AT7 seemed to have smaller, thinner plates. IMHO.

Does the tube in the OP look like it has a solid square dish getter, above the triple mica? Tube pics and angles can be deceiving, so I could very well be wrong. It does look very similar to eiraved's suggestion, and chinese. The OP's tube also appears to have copper wire leads.

I uave a baggie of Chinese signal tubes. 6N1's, 6N2's, 6N3's, etc. They're all bass shy and bright sounding. A lot of them are microphonic too. Nothing new manufacture though.
I do have one old stock Chinese 6N2 that sounds good. One out of the three 6N2's ain't bad I guess. :) I like the Russian 6N2P-EV better though.
