deadtime!!!!
or are you using "FAST" ADC's

sorry
what is your means?
I do not understand ^_^

The slewing of the spectra for the NaTl seem to be either too much dead time ie MCA not ready for next pulse or a damaged NaTl scintillator

I check sometime next week on the one i use (ortec 2"x2" Natl with a similar spectra

.
NaI's decay time ~250ns
presume dead time~250x5=1250ns
it can get 80,000 pulses every second.
80000cps is very big. so dead time is not a big problem if your MCA is fast enough.

My LaBr decay time about 20~25ns. ^_^
I also can sell it.

80,000 pulaes per sec could incurr 10% deadtime or more with NaTl which will slew spectra and seriously widen FHHW response hiding the rest of the spectra
as for FAST ADC's this is what I use

so you need LaBr.
LaBr decay time about 20~25ns.
NaI's decay time ~250ns
.
and 80000cps is very dangerous for man.
CZT will be better.

I have used a 3" X 3" standart NaI scintillation probe for almost 10 years with decent resolution...I dont feel the need for a LaBr

LaBr have Higher resolution and P/C than NEW Saint-Gobain NaI Crystals.
Whether this is needed is a comprehensive result. ^_^
