Comments:I found both of these NOS Philips tubes at the demolition shop a few months ago, the upper tube is highly unusual and is the only one of these I've ever seen. It says TL and 33 which is very rare on an older Australian Philips coolwhite tube, usually they just say MCFE but this says that too plus the Philips shield is on the left instead of the right.

Maybe the top tube was made with a view for exporting to Europe? Both lovely tubes!

Thanks, yeah maybe it was. Not sure why they reversed the Philips logo though.
