Valve preamp identify

Hi.

I recently get valve preamp with point to point connections and I cant figure out which valves been used there . Socket is 9ba but filament and high voltage are on different pins then for example 12ax7 . Psu give 170v dc and 6.3v dc but is adjustable and going for over 300v dc with pot . I've build few amps , preamps solid states , but never did anything with tubes and I'm interested to give a try . According to parts been used there it should be good preamp .I've drawed circutry but not sure I've did it right 🙂
If anyboby know that circut please advice .
