I'm sorry I just looked up my notes and it was indeed an Eb tuba with 4 Perinet valves and one rotary valve. The diameter of the bore at each and every position along the entire length of the instrument influences the intonation. To witness this partially fill one of the large bends of your tuba with more and more water. Test the intonation of various notes with your tuner. The results can be astonishingly bad!
