Never seen, wondering in what application they have needed those heat sinks.

A military radio probably, that's what the tubes were designed for after all.

The GU50 have a top bakelite knob to pull out the tube that was removed in these images above.

It did has knob for quick pull out.

The design and build quality was for Russian mobile military equipment. The knob, or handle, on the top and moulded glass key allow for rapid replacement in the field.
