I'm looking forward to trying out an Imperial and a Solo #2 on my JBL next week, as well as the C4LA rim.

No "YFB" up there.

Whether your tuba's receiver is the same as is used on the YBB and the YCB version is not something that I can ascertain. There was a YFB here a couple of weeks ago, but it has been sold.
The receivers on all 621s are the same of the ones I've stuck mouthpieces into.

My 621 (F) has a receiver just a bit smaller than the Holton, which is a bit large, with my Miraphone 186 in the middle. My B&S and the 621 are about the same.

I can confirm that a bass trombone shank will go in quite far, but does fit in the receiver of my YCB-621.
The shank seats and doesn't rattle. I tried it with a Conn Helleberg 5E, a Marcinkiewicz 106, and a Mirafone Jim Self BT.
