I will pay a bit more attention if I ever go back to the museum in country Victoria again.

It is not the normal practice YM but can be done in an emergency. It is, as you say, hard on the machinery. It is handy if the engine continues to turn slowly after the throttle is at stop. Astern movement can be made without waiting for complete stop. Doing it from full ahead is a whole different thing.
