Yes, I wondered about that myself. I'm guessing here that the fencing scene was shot for some other purpose and is used here as stock footage. In 1948 I.O. cameras were rapidly supplanting Iconoscopes, and because there is no mention of them, it suggests that the film might have been shot long before the broadcast. The GE shield on the side of the camera suggests that it might have been done at W2XB/WRGB, which had a coaxial link to WNBT very early on.
Like I say, it's only guesswork on my part.
