Geordie McBoyne.
That's the 0.15A for USA/Japan 110V markets, usually actually a 17EW8 (Click on 16=1963 etc)
The 0.1A for 220V-250V is the UCC85

I had one of these. Any Series heater AM/FM Radio set in UK from 1955 would likely use UCC85. They'd all be 100mA (TVs P series, 0.3A, so there is a PCC85).

The total heater voltage gets too high for 110V countries using 100mA series on AM/FM radio. The 200mA was pre-WWII C series for AM only sets.
