Your question probably should be directed toward someone like Robert Kraft. But wasn't Stravinsky strongly influenced by the French orchestral tradition back when the "petite tuba francais" was in vogue"? That's essentially a euphonium in C with five or six valves. The French trombonists were all using pea-shooters smaller than a King 2b.
