If, for example, they believe the Oxford vaccine and it's lower effectiveness is at greatest risk of failing as mutations emerge the risk based approach would be to get it out there as quickly as possible. I doubt such information would go into the public domain due to being alarming. There would always be positive spin.

You’re sounding alarmingly like a bacofoil salesman this morning jf. What “untested” products are you aware of that the rest of us aren’t? (You can’t be talking about either one of the two vaccines approved for use in the UK, which are manifestly not “untested”). Your second paragraph is, as far as I can see, fevered speculation, based as is on information you admit wouldn’t be made public even if it did exist ...
