I wonder if your output transformer is the earlier (RS) style, which had a different primary impedance than the later style (Drake?) and, therefore, a cleaner sound. I have Heyboers in my JTM45 build and it's good and dirty, just not as dirty as a lead-spec JMP.

No telling what that Mojo-Heyboer OT was specc’d after. I do know that amps B+ was like 475 vDC. It was loudish and hardly distorted between 7-10. My early 90s BBRI had an excellent breakup and being only about 28watts I could greatly enjoy just letting it rip in my living room without frying my ears off. The previous owner had it running EL34s and had disconnected the tremolo also.

I believe the O/P tranny I put in yours is a RS replica Brandon. Sergio cloned a particular RS output with one he had.
