Note how Hawkins and Barling used a one-step process
for each frequency of interest with their very low impedance
measuring circuit.

Did it seem to you that they might have been measuring the response of
their test setup in addition to the batteries?

No doubt they did.

One can only hope that they minimised noise of various kinds,
virtually eliminated coloration of the data by their test
set and did a few sanity checks before publishing data.

The good news is that they *could* use various capacitors
and inductors as transfer standards, measured with a
calibrated bridge to get an idea of where inaccuracies
might lay.

They didn't even bother to draw a Kelvin connection for the voltmeter.
In my experience engineers who know they need one make sure to show
it.
