Mystery 12ax7s!!! What could they be???

I have these...I don't know what they are, since they aren't labeled. Anyone care to take a guess?

They say 163, and B7L1.

What do we have here?

I had 3 of those too, used and almost dead. No idea what they are. Sounded pretty good before they started to make cranking and popping sounds.
