IIRC I think the V700 series had the hydraulic pumps on the outer engines and the V800 series on the inners? Hence they would always taxy with the appropriate engines running to provide hydraulic power for brakes and nose wheel steering.
I remember many hours stood behind the pilots on British Eagle Viscounts. Heady days!
