I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the valve number of the valve on the right in this photo.

It was in the radio in V3 position used as a replacement for a 11D3. In the photo you can see it next to another 11D3. The valve on the right has what looks like a triode in the upper section and maybe a double diode in the lower section. It does work in place of the 11D3 but not very well and has a strange effect on the volume control. The loudest (but still too quiet) part of the volume control is mid way, if you turn the volume up past midway it starts to go a little quieter.

Thanks
Mike
