Yes, the dispenser on the bottom of the lid could hold powder. My mother had a Zanker, also an Electrolux product. Here's a picture that shows there is a hole in the rim, the spouts inject water into the dispenser. The dispenser is removable.

The newer ones have a dispenser over the drum. Easier to remove and to clean. There is a switch for powder vs liquid detergent.

Thanks very much for the input henene4, rolls_rapide and Louis. Unfortunately I can't find any AEG, Electrolux or Miele top loaders in the UK right now. I can't actually locate a Lindo either; it seems to be Montpellier, Hotpoint or Whirlpool.
In terms of the detergent tray issue, just as an aside I have read many comments from French consumers who say they fill with water which then empties on to the freshly spun load when you open the lid :-/
I guess if it's possible I could hop over to Calais and pick one up in the boot of the car. Though probably not a Miele because it's so heavy it might destroy the car suspension - so false economy!!

There used to be some toploaders available in the UK, Zanussi used to have one too on their website. Apparently toploaders don't sell on your side of the Channel. Perhaps a dealer can order one?
In France however a lot of people prefer them, so there is more choice there. Boulanger has a wide choice of toploaders:

I have read many complaints too about the leaking detergent dispensers on the lid. Quite a few Dutch reviewers complained about it. I guess Electrolux's change to the new dispenser was for a good reason.

When we’ get around to renovating our vacation home in France I think I’ll get a slim top loader
