But I'm happy with using /V/ for the corresponding phoneme, as appears to be pretty standard among Brit phoneticists.

Is the Kirshenbaum scheme a scheme like IPA or a transliteration of IPA? It fails as a transliteration because it can't distinguish IPA [a] (low front vowel in Farsi and Modern British English) from IPA [æ] (early 20th century British English, American English) or IPA [ɐ]. If it is a scheme like IPA, then I have to ask, do British phoneticists usually use /V/ when using the Kirshenbaum scheme, or do you just mean that the 'Traditional Phonetic Orthography' is /ʌ/? I've seen others use /V"/ for the vowel of 'sun' on sci.lang.
