Yes it would sometimes be helpful to have the informative European name used alongside the almost meaningless US name for valves. How are we supposed to know that 6AL5 is a pair of diodes, 6AK5 is a UHF pentode and 6AM5 is an audio output pentode? Much better to know that these are EB91, EF95 and EL91 respectively - this even tells you which base they use (miniature, B7G).
