Default Can you identify these Officers & /or statley home?

Hi, Can anyone help?
I've two unknown senior officers and an entrance to a statley home to ID. I'm more hopeful of the entrance moulding as I know I'd probably recognise any Statley home I'd visited.

The officers may both be Lt.Colonels. The one wearing a Cap has General Service coat of arms insignia and no Sam Browne. The Beret wearing officer has a small Light Infantry type cord device on his beret.

It is from a large group photo with mixed capbadges and sexes and I have no idea who, what or where.

Hope you can help. Feel free to share amongst any forums you may belong to.

The ATS are wearing the RA or RE grenade as a breast badge, similar insignia possibly worn by at least one man in his FSC.

The officer wearing the beret - as viewed on my phone the image appears to have "LONDON" and another line of lettering embossed in the area of his beret and above.
A ghost of a postmark?

Definitely at least two ghosts, centre right.

The picture is ink stamped Panora Ltd. London W??? but I cannot see an overstamp on the Officer on the original.
There's lots of RA attached women but many more with other insignia.

I think the officer in the beret may be wearing grenade collars and possibly a RNF or similar design cap badge, the gilt showing dark and the silver design on the ball showing bright.
Then again I look at that beret and wonder if there's a toorie on top. Nice little mystery.
