Unfortunately Networkers aren't passed to run on the Southern lines at
New Cross Gate/ Queens Road. And there aren't any spare anyway!

Are those LU stock or National Rail stock?

Porterbrook Leasing Company, coming off lease from the beginning of next
year with a TOC south of the river.

According to Clive Feather's web page on the ELL, the existing
infrastructure is compatible with 'Networker' EMUs, so these would be
an obvious choice - see...

...though I guess this depends on SET's 465/466 diagrams. Also, will
any such NR trains need kitting out with LU trip-cock equipment before
they can be used?

Presumably, due to the extensive modifications needed to traction
supply/signalling on the non-LU sections, there's no 'reciprocal
arrangement' with LU stock working some services (in the manner of
Queen's Park-Watford Jcn. in years gone by)?
