Sadly no. Thanks for suggesting it though.

I think, but am not 100% certain, that the hwaddr is assigned when
running lxc-create.
I vaguely recall seeing the ability to arbitrarily set Mac Address in the Network Settings in VirtualBox, which I used to use (especially in my Ubuntu days).
I now use QEMU-KVM, and so will need to check its Options.
Good luck!
