The pilot has displayed in the U.K. this year so must either hold a UK DA or the Norwegian DA is deemed acceptable to the CAA.
As Joe says the only reason we haven't seen the Swedish this year is that the CAA won't recognise the Swedish DA as being valid and the pilots don't hold UK DA's. It has nothing to do with the aircraft.
But they did appear at Jersey Andy .........
But the CAA don't have authority in Jersey
I was being a tad provocative as its quite a complex area when you start to consider Crown Dependencies etc. That said, you are technically correct in that the Office of the Director of Civil Aviation is responsible in Jersey. Not sure I'd agree with the comment regarding DAs though as there are many who don't normally hold a UK DA that gain them for a specific event if approached in due time.
