Amperex had roughly half a dozen of these push-pull tetrode types in their product line back in the day, probably all targeted for the VHF/UHF land mobile radio services.? All were single-ended input, push-pull output.? Amperex even ran a full-page ad in the ham radio magazines / handbooks for them.
The most famous of these (if you can call such a thing famous) was the 5894, which was the tube used in the 100 watt PA in the Motorola Motracs.? I had a 10-watt Motorola Business/Dispatcher that used the 6360 as a PA.

"
The comment in the blurb about frequent replacement
of the tetrode finals make me wonder if the designers
were Tetrode Men."

Yes, it's easy to imagine that development lab had some "politics" that impacted the overall design ;-)
