Many years ago before WW2 LNWR Oerlikon and Siemems stick used to work into Earls Court on the Outer Circle Service. If there was a shortage of LNWR EMU's did District stock ever run this service?

I think District stock used to run the service in 1914 before the above noted stock was ready. This was mainly E stock during the Great War I think I read. Not sure about the inter war period.

Yes - the electrification was ready before the LNWR's trains - MDR ones were borrowed until they arrived.

1938 stock
I seem to recall reading somewhere that the 1938 stock ran on the Metropolitan line between Wembley Park and Stanmore before that branch was taken over by the Bakerloo. I also saw a picture of the same stock at Charing Cross Jubilee before that line was opened to the public. Alas this is reliant on my memory rather than being able to give proper references.

Similarly, didn't the District allow Standard Stock from the Picc to work thru to South Harrow until the 1932 handover of that branch to the Picc? |

I've found a reference to 1938 stock on the Metropolitan Stanmore branch. See pages 30 and 31 of Piers Connor's excellent "The 1938 Tube Stock". Now I'm wondering what line diagrams (if any) they displayed before they became part of the Bakerloo fleet.

I'm not sure there were any unless Met ones were used. The 1931 stock was used on the District as a shuttle between Sth Harrow and Acton Tn.
