Not only is there a YBB 621 in Bb, but also a YCB 621 in C (and they do look very much alike, and very much like the YFB 621 F).

Wonder why they never made a YEB-621...

Odd, isn't it? It
would "complete the family", and I doubt it would take sales away from the 321 or 632 ... probably wouldn't be all that difficult or expensive to put into production, either.

Didn't the Canadian Brass use YBB 621's?

No I think Chuck always used YCB 621 tubas.

If you scroll down this link, there's a picture of me playing my YCB 621CC with a LI blues band in Westhampton Beach.

Great little horn and fun to play!

You've gotten the correct answer already, but I would add that the YFB-621 has five valves, and the fifth valve slide runs vertically along the bell above the leadpipe. All the F's have it, so if it's not there in a picture, it's a BBb or C version of the 621.
