Sad to hear it is damaged :( For identifying the symbols, maybe a laser pointer can help, i tried this once with a tube, by moving the laser pointer on the axis of the symbol. A green one did a very good job to identify symbols!
Also i bought from this seller a few times, it seems that he's some kind of reseller/seller of bulk tube assortments, maybe from house clearances or flea markets. Possibly not knowing that much about tubes, judging by the replies to messages.
