I wonder why somebody modified the set to use a different output tube

I have a 29jc20(non sc) and it DOES use one(6dq5). So does my spare chassis I have. That sounds strange. Zenith NEVER used a 6je6 in their sets to my knowledge, they used a 6hf5 after the 6dq5, then a 6js6, 6lb6 and finally, a 6lf6. My service manual does NOT show an alternate output tube for the set.

By the way, it is a '62 model(zenith's first color, after their RE entry into the color field(the did have a prototype in '56or 57, somebody on this board showed one, but then, they pulled out of color, untli 1961, for the '62 year, and brought out this set.
