Yes, that's the sort of sinking feeling I get when I look at them, too!

No. That's very strange. I've tested my 1N without batteries and it
doesn't respond at all. Some very old light meters, and some cameras
(the Trip 35, I think, for example), had systems which didn't need
batteries, but IIRC they only work at reasonable light levels. As far as
I know the CdS sensors in the OM-1 do require battery power to function.
Where are you based?
