What tubes did Pinnacle rebrand? I've just got one from ebay (same seller as the Tungsram labelled Mullard), based on these pics:
I suspect it's a Phillips manufactured tube, but where?

Bainzy, SB/Paul here, can't log on, got any codes etched on the glass?

I can't see from the pic - the item hasn't arrived yet so I'm only going by these pictures.

I have one which is a Mullard, FWIW.

Hmm...
...the pictures don't show any codes, but I can't make my mind up whether that glass shape is more like my Mullard or Valvo's.

Ok this arrived today, it's definately not a Mullard. Looks very very close to my Valvo, but has absolutely no etched codes on it. Sounds a lot like the Valvo too. Interesting...

Quite possibly BEL India tube. See pic of relabeled BEL Tubes:

Often BEL codes are faint and only 2 letters.
