If you have a uTracer you could trace a set of curves with the two different heater voltages, keeping to the two extremes of the voltage @ 300mA and 6.3V. Keep the anode voltage as stated in operating characteristics, sweep the grid from cutoff to zero, and capture both sides by measuring the other side with the screen (g2) measurement, and tie the grids together.
It will be easier to visualise the effect than the just the single point on the curve as seen on the oscilloscope.
Ra looks to be high and current low in the quickest view, pointing to a tired tube?

What is not understandable is why to bear heavy currents from socket to socket and not keeping the heavy currents away using separate leads with necessary currents for each only ? This is what I do, as simple as can be without no wiring complication:
The whole method I used to do a simple straight 'T' wire conection and keep the heavy currents rail away here: https://music-electronics-forum.com...amps/build-your-amp/979103-soldering-question
