Finally I can recommend the PAT testing course run by City & Guilds,
it's quite comprehensive and if you are fortunate enough to get

I used one of those as a teenager. Did it not have a wire guard at
some stage?

The later ones did.

A chrome grid that clipped into four holes in the reflector.

The device depicted does not have the mounting holes.

An excellent example of the dispensation with silly EU safety rules
that continue to deprive British manufacturers of vast profits for
shoddy unsafe goods.

On the plus point those heaters reduced the lung cancer rate amongst
smokers.

You could actually light a cigarette from the bare wire version of the
elements. Handy if you had no matches.
