Your doubt is correct.  WSO was released in both mono and stereo versions in
the UK (and in Australia and the US as well).

A few years back I read an article on a tourist organisation in England that
were running 'Rock History' tours.  The idea was you'd hop onto their
double-decker bus and get driven around to see key spots in Rock History
(presumably places such as Abbey Road, The Cavern, perhaps The Marquee etc). 
The bus was painted with pictures of various rock stars including a giant one
on the back of Pete (mid-jump I think) which would imply that there is at least
some Who-related content on the tour.  Worth trying to track down if it still
operates.

The set was released in Australia at about the same time as everywhere else. 
Most of the major stores in Canberra carry it for $100.  You should be able to
get it from the Virgin or HMV mega-stores in Sydney.

As I posted a while back, a Sydney paper reported that he would be bringing the
DST show down under later in the year.  If he truly is doing it for the love of
the music (and I for one think he is) then it may still happen.   Fingers
crossed....
