Here's my cards so far...sounding quite acceptable might i add. Very punchy and beefy sounding. :) I'm happy..

The resistors used in the Neve silicon transistor based circuits are metal film, which was the only style offering a 2% tolerance.  The germanium based boards I have worked on have carbon 5% IIRC.

The resistors used in the silicon modules were actually metal glazed, of 2 types: TR4 and TR5, usually 5%.
The ones used in the germanium modules "look" like carbon comp, but are actually Metal Oxide, mixed together with some TR5´s.
 
Just found this thread again... as I was searching for the "perfect" neve transistors! anyway, stupid academic searches, but here is a thread that talks about a lot of transistor choices, for those interested:

I'm about to populate a BA283AV card. I also have an original.
Are there any advantages in using carbon film (or comp) resistors in this circuit?

No, but comparing to Metal Film there's a lot of disadvantages
