I now live in the US, and had to have my almost new cyclinder
hydrostatically tested, they are paranoid her about safety, one reason
I understand (correct me if I am wrong) is that the UL cylinders do
not have 'blow off' safety seals installed.

SO with a higher standard of testing, I would have though that you
should be OK, unless the thought of squeezing more money out of you,
by forcing you to have yours fully tested first at extra expense is in
the offing.

Only if it meets BS EN 1802:2002 (it should be stamped as so if it is)
and is stickered up to EN1089, and is in test.
