Let me tell you how to find out, go to the Duncan amp site and look under tube data for your 5881 , there you will find the info you need under the begining SE section.

Off the top of my head I think 380 volts is too high for SE!

What you want for center bias at that plate voltage is 6k3 (100% dissipation, 23W), with screen voltage about 100V less than the plate. I think the 5K would work fine, though.
