I hope the 'O' on your meter means 'Out Of Range' and not 'Zero'. Make the L-N, E-N, E-L measurements again but with the meter on the highest ohms range it has, if you were not already doing that. If it still indicates very very high or infinite resistance, that's fine.

32 ohms is quite a low resistance but the transformer primary winding wire looks quite thick, so I am going to say yes, try it.
