Martin, that seems the right way to start and there is no need to hurry. If nobody has a datasheet, and I can imagine that such an early RF loop through tuner has some specials, you are still in a difficult testing field, even if only on PAL BG for now. Is RF out is active would be still interesting to know. If on the same RF signal quality, means no more passive RF splitter in between, I don't know what we can expect, but for example the FM1216ME and the FMD1216ME hybrid MK3s do perform excellent and don't have this "grobkörnige" (grainy?) picture, which you often see on cheaper tuners. As far as I know, not any such complaints about the MK4s so far too. Dmitry has some MK3 variant, where the first time on a Philips tuner Chinese SAW filters are employed instead of the original EPCOS filters. The question, if that could cause performance/sensitivity losses, is not yet answered. Also if this is related to the SECAM DK tweaks he needs. I would start testing for different sound quality between tuner 56 and 38. Beginning silence on old B/W mono broadcasts could make a difference I somehow have in mind. If 56 still has no sound at all, that should indicate a major technical change compared to prior tuners.
