Thank you.
I don't know any more than you have said about the closed circuit colour televising of the Coronation.
There were a number of "on air" colour tests from Alexandra Palace in the 1950s and 1960s. These variously used 405 line NTSC and 625 line NTSC. In the UK and Europe we had the good fortune to start colour TV after the Plumbicon tube made it possible to design reasonably compact cameras.
