HDH + Perfect = Pluperfect?

John 19:33 and Mark 15:44 both use HDH with the perfect of QNHSKW.

John: HDH TEQNHKOTA
Mark: HDH TEQNHKE

Would the use of the pluperfect in these passages have been redundant?
[viz HDH ETEQNHSKEI in Mark, for instance]

Does the HDH simply stress emphatically what the pluperfect would have
necessarily implied?
