>From an article on computerhistory.org:

The 'Nixie' display design originated in 1929 by a Chicago inventor named 
Henninger. At first, such tubes were custom-made for use as advertising 
signs. A few early gas-discharge display tubes using the stacked-cathode 
system were made by National Union and Telefunken prior to 1945. The

So, 
Possible? Yeah
Likely? Nah

 Certainly look like nixies, but that would be historically inaccurate 
 right? Nixies weren't around until 1955 onwards.
