The Greek S-300s come from Cyprus (which AFAIK is not a NATO member). They were handed over as a way to resolve the crisis with Turkey about the system itself [1]
> Not sure if Turkey would allow close examination of their S400 capabilities, even as a NATO member.
These days Turkey is a NATO member more de jure than de facto, so who knows. Since the acquisition of S400 caused the expulsion of Turkey from the F-35 program, maybe that could be a bargaining chip to re-enter it in some form ?
