I am pretty sure they are mock up pictures even if the set was a working set but we do know from references that there were experiments both in field sequential and NTSC formats for UK 405 line but that the UK did not broadcast in color until they commenced 625 PAL in the late 60s (like most of Europe).
I have to say though that the idea of seeing the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth in colour would have been fantastic. No greater way to show off colour television would have been possible. It is a pity the Pye's experiments did not include the service itself but only part of the parade.
It is a pity that the Beeb never went into 405 line NTSC ....but that is a whole 'nuther story!!! (I could say the same here in Oz ...625 line PAL probably wasn't worth waiting 20 years for!)
