From my investigations (above) the answer must be no. What does linking the anodes test for?

The scans for the Mullard HSVT models are available on GMB's site. These include the layout of the gate switch and schematics of the tester circuits. Tracing the functions of the switches will be straightforward enough but very time consuming since there are 130 of them.
