I believe that pre 1993 registered cars do not require a cat for the MOT?

Diesels don't have a catalyser but a particulate filter. If you remove it the exhaust will produce (lots of) black smoke like older diesel engines do.

On the 440/460 there is a Oxidation Catalyst and no particulate filter.

I wasn't aware of that, I stand corrected!
