The Brussels pre-metro platforms have a sunken centre section for the

Sorry, I don't know - though I don't see any reason why a "full" metro
shouldn't be low-floor low-platform.

Yes - they were designed like that for that reason (at least in part).
When the first metros were introduced in 1976, they were of a high platform
design.
