Hello Jac,
I remember seeing Mullard twin panel CRTs but always considered the tubes to be re-branded Brimar or Mazda rather than made by Mullard or Philips.
Philips had registered their twin-panel CRT with an unique type designation A59-16W proving it was the companies' own design and not a direct copy of tubes made by other firms.

Hi Trevor,
Shouldn't be any difficulties but I'd imagine finding a Fenbridge cap will be almost impossible.
In the late sixties Mullard offered the "Inckit" as a replacement for 19" and 23" twin-panel CRTs. The CRTs offered were a 19" A47-26W or the 23" A59-23W along with all the necessary mounting components.
Ad the fitting charges it was expensive repair to what were becoming quite old sets so not many Inckits were sold.
