It makes sense to me to start with the basic lab test which I think is PLP according to Mayo, Labcorp, etc. Thanks all for your insight.

So.... on the basic blood test, my result is 35.7 ug/L with the lab range (Labcorp) being 5.3-46.7. What do I know, but that sure doesn't sound to me like a profound deficiency from "pyroluria" requiring supplementation at 300 mg./day (3 times the official upper limit of safety), as I have been advised?

As already said, with regular B6 blood test you're only sure if it shows deficiency. With normal or above nothing for sure.
