Did the Electron ever have Mode 7?

Just a small question - was a BBC ever sold, or was it ever common to create
one with the SAA5050/English font ROM replaced with any of the international
variations? My main motivation for asking is that I have implemented support
for one of the Electron Mode 7 emulators into the next release of my
emulator, and have acquired these font ROMS :

US/ASCII
Belgian
German
English
Italian
Swedish

(I know there is another about somewhere, but I don't have it)

And I'm not really sure if any, other than English, need including in the
emulator.
