Triode or ultraliner connected ?

OTL tube amplifier with one output pentode but capable to feed 3 W to 4 ohms loudspeaker. Interesting, but hardly true.
I suppose that it is an ordinary SE amplifier. There is clearly a transformer box at the rear part of the chassis.

Looks like OTL, from the manufacturer's website. It makes the following bold claim.

After many years of repeated tests and improvements our OTL technology gives a true sound and is among the finest available on the market today. After many years of repeated tests and improvements our OTL technology gives a true sound and is among the finest available on the market today.
Hartung OTL
Only four tubes for a stereo amp? The outputs are 6P1P-EV Russian military(!) tubes. The driver/splitter tubes are 6S4P-EV military tubes (in pure single triode, whatever that implies).

Hard to tell what is in the box behind the tubes but judging by the size of the output posts in the picture it is not very big, Unlikely that there could be two output transformers and a power transformer in there but who knows? Also there are no taps for 4, 8, 16 ohms like OPTs usually have. The speaker outputs are rated for 4 ohm, as stated on the website.

ebay link not OTL

Ebay link shows SE amp with 6P1P-EV tubes and those can't make 3W in triode connection (if EL84 makes some 1.5W in triode these can only be less) so it's either UL or plain pentode (perhaps with Shade feedback)

OTL link on vendor's own site shows rather beefy 4x6c33c monoblocks and those do make sense but have nothing to do with the amp OP inquired about
