There is no electrical difference between K0, K3, K5 or K9, just a topological one with respect to the other electrodes in the array. Choose any one of them as your nominal index cathode, treat all the others in the same way as the common cathode K and you'll get a tube which spins giving one output pulse from the index cathode every revolution.
OG8 is indeed a unidirectional tube - the shape of the cathodes (main cathode and transfer electrodes) dictates the directionality. That's how you can get secure glow transfer with only one transfer electrode between each main cathode.
