Strictly speaking, a cylinder can only be filled if it has the correct marking for that country - so a filling station would have every right to say your pony is not in test by their standards.
Something you COULD consider: You can order a decanting whip from Kent Diving for £55 (I bought one yesterday) and if they do get snotty about filling the thing themselves, whack in air from your main cylinder. Since the first dive or two tend to be shallow check-out dives, you won't miss the air.
A quick calculation says that an empty pony filled from a 12L @ 232 bar will give you 185 bar in both - not too bad.
If you then top up the pony again from a full 12 before the second dive, it'll go up to 222 bar - which is full enough for me!
Just an idea..
