Per the equivalence principle, this should have no effect on how gravity acts upon both cylinders. So if MICROSCOPE measured any deviations, equivalence would be violated.

The Weak equivalence principle (WEP) is a key aspect of classical physics. It states that when particles are in freefall, the trajectories they follow are entirely independent of their masses.
