You can either run up the tunnel and reverse back to EB platform or berth in EB platform and reverse back WB.

AFAICR it is the only crossover fitted with a set of 'swing nose' points.
Installed as a noise mitigation measure, apparently; although I'm sure this is a euphonium for the Design Office saying 'Oo we've got a new bit of railway, can we test this kit here pleeeeeease' ;D

I'm sure they are somewhere on the Northern Line. |

Not as far as I know. However, my notes are not infallible! ;D
There is a set of spring toggle points at Camden.

I'm sure they are somewhere on the Northern Line. No. Camden Town has a set of loose points, where the S/B Hampstead branch meets the S/B City branch. The only other unusual points on the Northern Line are: # Kennington siding (spring catch points) - soon to be replaced with standard points # Finchley Central - power trap points at the south end of Platform 1. # Morden 44 and 45 roads - spring trailing / controlled facing points on the depot reception roads There are also wide-to-gauge points at a few locations, for example Finchley Central 35 siding, Tooting Broadway siding, Archway siding. |

Not GRP no; I concur WAT 4 points are the only swing nose points on the Jubilee.

[quotenoise mitigation measureD[/quote]
AIUI noise and *vibration* mitigation from nearby buildings.
The noise issue is not that of when the points thow, but that of trains running over them as Normal or Reverse there are less/shorter gaps for wheels to clunk over.
