Maybe those tubes experienced a miraculous self-repair!

Another trick:  

I heard from a fellow who dealt in WE 300B’s (NOS and tested used ones) that he would sign each one he sold, on the glass.  Then, if anyone tried a switch as part of a return for refund, he’d know if it was the one he’d sent (and tested thoroughly before shipping).  The honest buyer could remove the signature with the right solvent.  The scoundrel would likely not send a tube back.
