Yes, I'd say the local oscillator in then Astra sets is stable enough to do away with a front panel fine tuner, although the non-VHF/FM radio sets usually had a fine tuning (translucent Nylon) adjusting "screwdriver" fitted into that black piece projecting out of the tuner unit at the rear, which you pushed in and turned.
Astra sets with VHF radio had AFC (only when radio was selected), which had to be carefully set up by the Murphy dealer upon first installation. So, if there was a rear fine tune shaft fitted, the customer would fiddle with it and mess things up!
The Astra is a typical Murphy - doing it their own unique way!
