The 4CX250R was developed for high shock enviroments, military or civilian.
The military version was the 7580W and a dual labeled pair was used in the
Collins AN/URC-32 shipboard "transceiver" from the early 60's.

And, just to complicate things a bit, the 4CX250R is stated to provide
more output than the 4CX250B. I think it is rated for repeater usage,
although the bias and characteristics are different than the 4CX250B.

I suspect when EIMAC came out with the 7034 they wanted to suggest
that they were a good replacement for the
4X150A. Military particularly wanted to use the same part number when
replacing tubes in their radios, and I suspect that
EIMAC wanted to not only promote the 7034 they wanted to make one tube
type rather than 2.
There are subtle differences between the two tubes, besides plate
dissipation limit. The characteristic curves for the 4X150A does not show
any
area where there is a negative flow of screen current, while this is an
obvious issue some times with the 7034 and 4CX250B.
This could be a problem in some cases when interchanging these tubes.
There are other differences, one is that
when operating the 7034 at 500MHz it does produce the same output power
but requires 1/3 the drive power.

"The Eimac data sheet does not confirm that
http://www.r-type.org/pdfs/4x150a.pdf
The RCA 4X150A/7034 data does:
http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/241849/ETC/7034-4X150A.html";
The RCA data sheet refers to a 4X150A only, which is a different tube
than the 4X150A/7034.
