No, 1471 didn't give me the number which is why I say it's anonymous .. as bob_builder said, I got the "we don't have it" message which to my mind make it anonymous.

Is there a rational explanation why UK 'anonymous' isn't the same as 'non-UK anonymous'? I mean, FFS, they're both effectively the same thing and whatever drives the 1471 system KNOW it didn't know the number.
