Given the difficulty of finding good 7360s in the UK, might I suggest biting the bullet and considering an H-mode mixer for a receiver sans RF amp? It'll have appreciably more dynamic range than the 7360, and as Dave said, the 7360 is still a relatively noisy pentode, it's just that the electrons later get switched between two anodes. And that doesn't affect the basic pentode performance.
