I learned recently prepping for the Extra Class exam a sawtooth wave is composed of the fundamental and all harmonics; square waves are going to be predominately made up of odd harmonics as Bob Sutton's measurement bear out.
AFAIK, these single transistor amplifiers (class C, E) have a non symmetric output, looking more like half wave recitified AC even when driven with a square wave, thus contains large even harmonics. Of course it will be a mix of both, but it's not free from the even ones (:
