Those old RCA tubes had an old style implosion guard on them and are very different to the types used in UK sets and computer screens.
The adhesive between the implosion guard and the screen used to fail.
They were obsolete by the time we got colour TV.
The mask was more like the later ones but the tube itself was often a round screen type like early B/W sets.
