As far as I can tell.
Think the no radials front/cross-ply rear, applies to two axle vehicles with single wheels Huh

It appears that the legal requirement is that cross-ply and radial are not allowed on the same axle.

It appears that having cross-ply on one axle and radial on the other is an MoT failure (and not recommended practice).

Suggest you get advice from someone in the tyre trade and MoT business as this is simply info gleaned off the web.
