That makes a lot of sense, though let's not forget, the published scripts were published as scripts to be read, not acted. It's the Shakespeare syndrome... his scripts have been altered over the past 500 years and are often used to be read. A script is not meant to be read, it is meant to be acted. Galton and Simpson themselves altered some of them for the 1971 school text book of Steptoe scripts, so although likely he improvised, we can not be sure.
What puzzles me is why he would be singing about a sandwich, or an orgy, at the thought of eating a liquorice allsort. Having listend back to it, my first guess, which I always thought it was, is way off. Definitely not that... Hoagie it is, but the question is... why?
