Found a few similar photos on another forum site and the following are links to them.
Cpl Henry's Squad, 13th Coy, Coldstream Guards, Jan 1941
Serjt Attwood's Squad, Grenadier Guards, Sept 1940
Cpl Taylor's Squad, Scots Guards, Jan 1940
Cpl Horrock's Squad, Coldstream Guards, Aug 1943
So, contrary to popular belief, Corporals do (or did) apparently exist in the Guards, at least at depot. The "Trained Soldier" is also identified (as in the photo of the OP) in these additional photos. In the Horrock's Squad photo, he is seated front and centre and thus there is a better view of his uniform details including what may be the "Trained Soldier Badge" on his upper right sleeve.
As to the origin of many of these photos . . .

Over the years G & H Bunce took many a squad photo at the Guards Depot Caterham. Their company name - along with the printed identities of each individual in the photograph - features on the card mounting frame
It's been an oft posed question: What happened to all the negatives of the photos taken by the firm?
