Hello BSD, I have had a better look at things and have asked around in the Viscount enthusiast community and it looks like you are correct. That's one puzzle solved for me! I actually did know about the Tyne's low/high ground idle feature thanks to having been on the flight deck for an engine run once. I just didn't think to look for it in the checklist. As for the Viscount and its Darts... I'm even less knowledgable (so that basically equals zero....).
