I don’t think so; I can’t recall any support for such a connection between the written offer and the GPL itself written into the GPL license text.

From section 4 [1]
> If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
Similar clauses in Sec 6.

That section (and similar in section 6d) is not about the written offer of source code. The written offer of source code is instead covered in section 6c.
Ah.. Thanks
> c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.
