X-Pro2, X-T2, X-T20, X-E3 shutter speed display in A mode?

Following on from a question I asked recently, I'm intrigued to know whether all these camera models behave similarly. I'd be grateful if those of you who own one or more of these models could try them with the settings outlined below, and post whether you see the shutter speed displayed on the LCD and/or EVF. It would also be useful to know if you only see it whilst you are keeping half-pressure on the shutter button. Please indicate which model(s) your observations refer to. Thanks in advance!
The following test assumes the camera is not set (in Custom Disp. Settings) to omit display of the shutter speed/aperture/ISO, of course (in that case, the shutter speed is never displayed at any time).
Camera should be set as follows:
Aperture priority exposure mode (A): i.e. shutter speed dial on A, aperture set manually via lens ring or body dial with XC and XF 27mm lenses.
ISO set to Auto (doesn't matter the specifications within the Auto setting), but it does need to be on Auto ISO.
DR set to 100, 200 or 400 - definitely NOT Auto (very important).
AF lever on front of camera set to S.
Single-shot drive mode.
Metering set to evaluative (the default pattern, just for consistency). Probably doesn't really matter.
Some of the models have an option to use AE on half-press of the shutter release, or not to do so. This effectively means AE lock on half-press. Rather than insist this is set one way or another, as long as you specify what you see before and after half-pressing and holding the shutter button, I think I can draw the necessary conclusions.
Again, many thanks if you are able to spare the time to do this.
