I found among my UK stamps this 1p copy, which has the phosphorescent bar screened...Does it appear in any catalogue?

No, but it is not uncommon all phosphor bars on the photogravure issues are screened, they were applied by photogravure.

Photogravure uses light to 'burn' small 'puts' in a plate, These 'puts' hold the ink from which the image is printed after the plate is wiped clean. The number of dots per inch is the 'screen.' The phosphor bars are printed from a separate plate. The '150' phosphor screen that your stamp appears to have has 150 phosphor ink dots per inch. The '250' screen has 250 dots per inch.

I guess it could only be known with a microscope by comparing two stamps...
