That I cannot say. The engine room end that I have is from (so the vendor vouchsafed) HMS Devonshire. The photographs of a type 45 bridge that are around show something that certainly looks like a conventional telegraph (even if it doubles to input he auto-control Setpoint).
"Full" could, however, still meet my description even if more one often the second option than the first. Anyway, most of 'our' ships are UMS and still have telegraphs - I can but think exchanging movement requests by polite note and runner might move an emergency onto the front newspaper page.
