"I was puzzled by the odd nomenclature as it does not seem to indicate
exactly what type of valve it is,any help in this direction would be useful."

I know it does not appear to fit the usual Mullard coding, but it does - in special quality valves, the number and electrode-type letter were switched. I.E., ECC83 would become the E83CC.

I know it appears to go against the logic of the Mullard code!
