I am not aware of any Argentine team coming to UK to assess the Harrier or the SHAR.
On 9 Sept 79 I did land a GR1 on the 25 de Mayo as it went down the Channel on its delivery trip from Holland to Argentina. This was at our request to be allowed to demonstrate the Harrier. They objected that they had no ATC or any deck crew facilities which we said was fine by us - we just wanted an R/T freq and position. On the day in question there was very poor vis in the Channel and I could not find them despite going to where they said they were. They offered no steers but there was an RN chopper on board who had ferried a VIP to the ship earlier in the day. As it happened he was just getting airborne to RTB so used his blue parrot to give me steers until I found them. It transpired they were over 40 miles away from where they had said they were.
