So it's probably fake

The source of the photo is attributed to Radio Times Hulton Picture Library per the ETF site. It is also well documented by many sources that at least two Chromatrons were at the children's hospital displaying closed circuit color images of the coronation in 1953.

If you Google "Pye", you will find photos of the color camera used for the closed circuit color telecast to the two Chromatrons at the hospital.

Why would this image be a fake? What would be the motivation to fake the photo?
