...Did your designer comment on the curves?
A beam tetrode and a pentode are different designs but the curves are nearly identical and they're used nearly identically for audio apps. When a pentode or beam tetrode is strapped as a triode, it still has 4 or 5 "charged elements" but the curves are nearly identical to those of a true triode and designs using them this way are also nearly identical to those of a true triode design. So is a triode strapped pentode behaving as a triode or as a pentode in these designs? How should one refer to a design using a triode strapped pentode? By the logic of your designer, it's a pentode design. By the curves (and convention) it's a triode design although purists might prefer "triode strapped pentode".
