It is quite possible that the discoloration is from the manufacturing process.
The tubes are dual triodes, so a heavy use pattern would most likely show signs of 2 spots instead of one.
Look at the bottom edge of the flashing as it would likely also show signs of heavy discoloration or fading.
Assuming they test to spec (and are triode balanced), I would not be concerned.
