5150 3 with and without tube badge?

[Iron1]

Was looking at 5150 III listings and noticed some say “6L6” or “EL34” under the 5150iii on the badge and some don’t. Is that some sort of generation thing? Production change? Something else?

Somebody was drunk on the assembly line... forgot to put it on there is my best guess.

"The 50 watt heads originally had the "F" logo. The "F" was replaced with "6L6" after EVH released the 50 watt EL34 head and concentric volume and gain pots on the 6L6 head."

From the other place but seems about right

Yeah, if it doesn't say, I think you can assume it is an early 6L6 original.
