[Proj] towgs84 values for EPSG:27700

Hi,

I am working with PROJ Rel. 4.7.1 and GDAL/OGR from trunk.

testepsg and gdalsrsinfo tell me that the towgs84 values for EPSG:27700 
are 375,-111,431,0,0,0,0 whereas cs2cs reports for the same EPSG code: 
446.448,-125.157,542.060,0.1502,0.2470,0.8421,-20.4894

Is this expected behaviour?

Hermann
