Possible early experimental E1T Display tube?

Anybody have any experience with this tube? It looks like a prototype for the E1T. The numbers are on an external film, taped to the tube.

Another new one on me, but Eindhoven is in the Netherlands, if memory serves....

Eindhoven is in the Netherlands and the site of a Phillips facility.

Ok, I think most of the E1T's I have are Phillips. The normal E1T's I own, have the numbers painted on the outside of the bulb, and the phosphor coating on the inside looks much whiter.

Here's a site dedicated to the E1T tube:

The author works (worked ?) at Philips in Eindhoven. He's got access to internal company documents. His email is at the bottom of his main page:

I was in Eindhoven, back in 1987. Philips use to have a nice science museum there, but closed it down in 1989:
