Can anyone tell me the difference in tone the short plate and the long plate mullards have?
My other question is what is the likelihood of a long plate or short plate mallard showing up in a stock '68/'69 Marshall 100w? Did the short plates show up more or vice versa? Or perhaps one didn't show up at all?

Long plates weren't made by the time Marshall came around, and hadn't for some time. I wouldn't ever expect to see one as stock in a Marshall.
So I like purple, okay!!!!!!

You'd likely find an I63 Mullard in a late-60's marshall. Long plates(mC1, f91, f92) were gone by the very early 60's. Long plates sound nice, but are excessively microphonic.
