Burroughs did at least own one factory in Japan according to this link: 
https://www.computerwoche.de/a/burroughs-will-in-japan-produzieren,1200932 
however it doesn't say if it produced Nixies.

Google translate for the link:

--
TOKYO - Burroughs Corp.'s Japanese sales company, Takachiho Burroughs Co, 
has acquired Takachiho Koeki Co's Gotemba plant, which manufactures 
minicomputers, POS terminals and DV accessories. The distribution of the 
devices had previously largely gone through Takachiho Burroughs. At the end 
of 1975, Burroughs had increased its stake in the Japanese sales company 
from 50 to 95 percent - since then its partner Takachiho Koeki Co has only 
held 5 percent of the shares. The Japanese Ministry of Trade and Industry 
(MITI) has approved the sale of the plant and Burroughs production plans.

I doubt that Burroughs had a factory in Japan. I suspect that they were 
made in Japan for Burroughs. I also suspect that the same tubes were made 
for other companies and badged for them.

Yes, JRC is Japan Radio. But did they have a Nixie tube factory, or did
they print their name on tubes made by another company? These tubes were
made using rather sophisticated methods, and the tooling would be rather
unique.
Did JRC make Nixie tubes? Did Burroughs make Nixie tubes in Japan?
(I just popped the back off a c.1960 five tube radio made by Monarch in
Japan, and it is full of Matsushita tubes.)
It's an interesting question.

Max,
Thanks for the photo. These JRC tubes look very similar to Japanese
Burroughs B-5870 tubes. It's likely they were made in the same factory, but
I don't know whose factory it was.

John,
I'd love to see a photo of those tubes. I've been through thousands of 5870
tubes, but I've never seen a JRC tube.

[neonixie-l] FS: 5 NOS 5870

[John]

I have 5 NOS JRC branded B-5870 nixies for sale.  I am asking $100 postpaid 
in US.  Price is a guess as I can't find reference pricing.  Let me know if 
I'm out of the park.

I have verified each tube lights, and though I have not tested every digit, 
they all functioned in my brief tests. 

Each comes with the mounting collar/standoff.

Pictures upon request as I don't know the list preference on image 
attachments.

Rgds and thanks for the bandwidth,
John
