In the book Echoes of War: The Story of H2S Radar, there's some information about H2D radar tested in 1944. H2D is (in the book) said to be a Pulsed Doppler version of H2S series.
However WW2 magnetron could only give random coherent signal. It seems impossible for ww2 tech to achieve any kind of "all coherent" which is a basic requirement for what we nowadays call "Pulse Doppler".
Some radar devices used Doppler effect in ww2 such as Fakir and Tastlaus (German), but these were not "Pulsed Doppler"/"Pulse Doppler".
The author of the book Bernard Lovell was one of the key persons in H2S project so these claims in his book should hardly be wrong.
TNA documents AVIA 7/2514 and AIR 20/877 are about H2D trials so there may be more details. I'm not in the UK
