I'd noticed it was different from the ones at the Tower, but wasn't sure if this was a location thing or just because it was 60+ years ago.

I've just done a bit of a street view round St James's Palace, though, and it seems to be mostly brick - ours looks like stone.

Yes I agree with that Arthurk.
I have been trawling round images of various palaces and other places of interest, Lambeth Palace seems to be the nearest looking stonework with the differing colours.
CaroleW said that it looked like a site-seeing attraction, I think I would agree with that, the stairs are roped off perhaps for entrance and exit. Maybe it was a one off exhibition?

According to Wikipedia's article on the Queen's Guard, these guardsmen would (now) only be found at royal residences, which would rule out Lambeth Palace. Until 1973 there was also a detachment at the Bank of England (the Bank Picquet).

I agree with the thoughts about an entrance/exit etc.
