CIFTE (Compagnie Industrielle Française des Tubes Electroniques) was related to the brands Brimar, Mazda, Ediswan, Siemens, Ferranti, Belvu, STC and others under the Thorn-AEI umbrella, but there was a bit of cross-pollination going on, depending on the time period. For example, the Mazda longplates at Upscale have Telefunken hoop getters.
AFAIK Brimar (BRItish Made American Range) was the first company to market a 12AX7 in Europe, going by a Feb 1950 Wireless World ad. Whether they manufactured them or imported and rebranded them I don't know, but Philips didn't market the ECC83 until late '53. (RCA developed the 12AX7 in late '47 - hmmm, right around while Yeager was breaking the sound barrier, it was a good season for sonics - and released it in '48).
