But does the Netgear TA612V provide UK standard Caller ID?

There are many different standards world-wide (and even in the UK with
the cable companies), alas.

Does the netgear have any way to select which type of Caller ID it
supports?

Or can you use a differenet router and a soft-phone on your PC just to
make sure you do see callerId?
