Does anyone know these tubes?

I had ordered a pair of NOS Sylvania 6CG7 via the internet. Instead I have been sent 2 GE JAN-6CG7, marked 82.52 33173 on the tubes. I would guess 82 is the vintage (the boxes are marked A.9/82) and since they are JAN versions I trust they'll be fine in terms of build quality. Does anyone know whether these early 80s GEs are good for audio purposes, though? Or should I insist on Sylvania (of which I don't know the vintage)?
Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Perhaps I've been throwing in too much detail, it would be an extreme coincidence if anyone had tested exactly these tubes.

I guess the core of the question is whether vacuum tubes General Electric built for the army in the early 80s are any good?
