I think it's pretty sure they are not working.
Talley lights (and perhaps retrofit viewfinder monitors) are working. But three completely working TK-41s would require several racks of support circuits. Plus all the power for them. Plus someone who knows the setup procedure. Plus maintenace of everything. A modern production is not likely to tolerate the hour or more setup time these cameras originally needed, nor the interruptions when things fail.
Edit: even the retrofit viewfinders are not needed, as modern CGI can do a very convincing job of faking them.
At least they have the thick old cable attached, so they made some effort to be authentic (or rented them from someone who keeps them fairly authentic).
