Internal extension wiring is the responsibility of the customer, so if you wanted to use the extension, you would need to make sure its connected to the master phone socket.
What does your master phone socket look like?

The one that is currently active kinda looks like 1/2 (they're very similar to me)
I have another socket in the lounge installed already which doesn't look like any of the ones you listed, it has the phone line socket along side with the TV cable socket.
That is very unlikely to have anything to do with any existing phone wiring, it may not even be connected to anything.
As for the master socket, which I assume is where your bt home hub is plugged into, the difference between 1 and 2 pictures, is that number 1 has screws to hold the cover on, and number 2 just clips on. I suspect its no 1.
If that extension socket was connected to the master socket, then if you removed the bottom part of the master socket, then the extension wiring would be connected to the back of that section, as shown below.
If there is nothing connected there, then your extension socket is not wired up, and you would either have to buy a DIY phone extension kit, or find someone local to do it, which would not be possible during the current crisis,
Why do you need to move the home hub, as the wireless signal should easily cover the inside of a flat?

that's really the purpose of this exercise

I will have a look under both sockets later on.
