I think the 5f10 late tweed Harvard and 6g2 early brownface Princeton are very similar circuits from my own research. There is a bunch of lore about that online that I had read before ordering from Robin Wood and going with the Harvard. (He never does circuits with trem or verb, so a 5f11 was out.)
If you search thegearpage and some other fora, there are a bunch of posts where people who know more than I do about amp circuits say that between 5f10, 5f11, and 6g2 are just a few filter cap values, something with fixed bias voltage, etc. (And trem.) So should sound similarish.
Every time I go to the tip I walk past the shipping container bit for old electronics, TVs and laptops probably at least half of which are still working.
He does offer trem on the brown panel Princeton now as @earwighoney rightly says... I might be misremembering, but I get the feeling it's a bit less complex of a circuit than the trem on some other amps, I think it only need half a 12AX7 (which is why it has a 12AX7 rather than the Harvard's 6AT6, I guess).
That being said it's meant to be a really killer tremolo, I think. I don't think the complexity necessarily makes it sound any better! Which @earwighoney confirmed
