Hi Ash/Roy,
That's exactly what I did recently - but I had not checked with anyone at DVLA, I avoid that whenever possible.
I had a bike, and an old single sheet V5 in my name.  Got an MOT, took the docs to the Post office, they quickly perused them, taxed it (free) and sent the V5 away and I got a red V5c within a week.  This can not work with an old buff or green logbook obviously but an old V5 is already computerised - unless they have changed the system very recently,

What are the bikes you are trying to get through, are they in an MOT condition?....... The reason I ask is that a mate has been in the same position. In the end he took it for an MOT and about 2 weeks later it magically appeared on the DVLA website, then they accepted his V5 without question........ It appears to be something to do with lost bikes details being used to sell stolen bikes (if that makes sense). Once its MOTed they appear to accept that its the correct bike as its been inspected................ No proof that any of this is actually true as we only have the opinion of the MOT tester, but it worked a treat for my mates 1969 bike so who knows. The DVLA appear to make up the rules as they go along.

It's a CB250G5 that I just sold..he's collecting it tonight hopefully. (hoping buyer may become a member here as he's doing a total restoration as its only done 2k miles..thank God he's not going to 'cafe' it). My other bikes (all from Crawley) that have registration issues are my CB72 that only has green logbook and a CB250K0 that's only got green logbook. My Bomber has old V5 and is on DVLA ..so hoping that will be more straightforward. I also have a CB250K0 that's got no docs but it  is on the DVLA register. The  CB250K0's (both '69's) I got from the 'Crawley garden and garage' ..I already have two of them but they didn't have matching numbers so I am using them to create two matching no's bikes plus one is only showing 4.5k miles, so  using all of the 'shiny'  :) bits from my others to make a stunning resto.

Might be wrong on this but these bikes are all London/E. Sussex  registered, apart from Roy's Bomber which came from Chester. I think some authorities (a few southern based ones included) were lax or records lost or whatever when computerisation came in  but in two separate enquires DVLA  are telling me that they have no record of the bike and I need to go the V765 route. Both VJMC & HOC also confirm that I need to complete V765 and have it authenticated.

Trigger:
The least communication you have with DVLA the better, it will flag up every time you contact them and you are only speaking to monkeys that are looking at the same screen.
The MOT system is run by ATOS and if a bike is MOTed, then it does exist and will jump the system. Don't ask how I know these things  ;) ;)

Bryanj:
Ash why not go to your friendl mot man with the reg and ask him if his system will accept the reg
