I don't know enough about the difference 
between lapping and handbell ringingto comment with any authority - but the 
Abingdon peal was rung by five men only (surely implying two bells each).

I have seen lapping done and it was done with two handbells. I believe the usual way of telling whether handbell performances were lapped or not was by the time taken. In the case of the Abingdon performance, it is slow by modern standards for handbell peals but is it conclusively slow?
