Counterfeit 6DJ8 tubes?

Though there has been some talk on here about them, I have trouble identifying a true counterfeit.

Take these two for example. Tube A, and Tube B. As far as I know, these are both authentic, they have the 4 ridges on the top for example.

… but something seems a little fishy about them. The silkscreen is just too fresh and ‘thick’ looking, but maybe that was just they way they did them that day. I can not find Date Codes on either, where would they be by the way?

Anyone know what to really look for?
