Is it common practice to return the cable down the same conduit that

Yes.

Assuming metal conduit, if there is not a copper protective
conductor drawn into the conduit then you need to be particularly
careful about making proper joints to maintain the continuity of the
trunking which forms the protective conductor.

Thanks,
I hadn't considered metal conduit before, nor that the conduit itself
could be used for earthing. Lots to learn.
