Yes they were. They were out of favour superseded by TR4 metal oxide film axial types by the time I started there in 1974. ISTR they were used in (at least) the RA1771/2 receivers and the MA1720 exciter which were made in Bracknell.
In reality, they're no more compact than "Tokyo Skyscraper" style axials but did offer easier board stuffing.
