Default Magic Eye

Hello. Can anyone identify this magic eye, CT8 base ? I thought it was an EM4 but as you can see from the images its marked 9.6 6D3. The top also has an extra support wire? Compared with the EM4 / EM34.

TV4 or TV4a or A39A?

Can you power-up the heater and see if it 'looks' right at 4V or 6.3V?

Thanks for all the replies. I wonder why I can't find the number on the side referenced anywhere?
I will try and power up the heater later, if it's not o/c.

At 6V it's around 300ma. At 4V you can only see it glowing in dimed lighting. I tried to compare with an EM34 for reference.
