Musicman valve/tube question

For some strange reason the valves in my RP65 112 are different brands and slightly different shapes.

They are both marked as 6L6, one as 6L6 GC.

The bloke I bought it off thought it had the original valves from 1978 (He owned it since about 1980)
It sounds good too!

Anyway, should I get a new matched pair or just leave it?

If I do replace them, what brand?

You should be alright, you can use different brands of tubes if you want.

I was running some JAN PhillipsECG 6L6 tubes a while back and they were pretty sweet, but a little expensive. I've had good experience with JJ/Tesla tubes and I like to order from http://www.tubedepot.com, they ship pretty quick.
