I don't think it's that easy. I don't know of any online source for UK Columbias myself, and the link to the US Columbia E-Series discography won't help you much.

I myself don't collect British 78s, but if I did, I'd probably try to get some of the Columbia discographies sold via the website of the The City of London Phonograph and Gramophone Society (CLPGS) at https://www.clpgs.org.uk/label-discographies.html:

Columbia 'DB' and 'LB' series
by Michael Smith and Frank Andrews. Softbound, A4, 370 pages. Introduction & Index.

Columbia 'DX' and 'YBX' series
by Michael Smith, Ernie & Ernest Bayly and Frank Andrews. Soft bound A4. Coloured cover. 176 pages. Introduction & Artist Index.

Columbia FB Variety and Dance Band Records

Columbia Celebrity Series 'L,LX,D,YB,LB,RO,ROX'
by Michael Smith & Frank Andrews. Soft bound, A4, 286 pages. Introduction & Index.
