Yes... different bulbs, different circuits.

The PDP-8/E uses TTL logic. The R-series stuff does not. The
supply rails are +10VDC and -15VDC... not the same.

The pre-TTL stuff apparently uses 28VDC bulbs with a wire base,
running off a nominal 12VDC. They obviously learned something
from their early products.
