They're exactly the same trains, so, no, not with passengers on board.
My guess is that the signalling test is on a part of the Circle line
that's closed this long Easter weekend.

Yes - but as pointed out there is no part of the Circle Line that is
closed that isn't shared with the Hammersmith and City line which is open.

So does that mean the Circle Line is actually a circle line this weekend?

Looks that way... the journey planner says that Aldgate to Bayswater is
direct Circle Line via Barbican. If I ask it for the same journey next
Wednesday it gives the same route but includes the change at Edgware Road.

From the Weekend travel information email: " A circular service will
operate Edgware Road – Aldgate – Edgware Road. "

I wonder if the new signalling is actually being tested on the closed
eastern section of the H&C and District lines, between Aldgate East and
West Ham?
