Just for accuracy, the Hoffnung horn is a CCC, though there is a slide extension for the tuning slide to put it (sort of) in BBB-flat. That extension isn't on the horn in either of the 2 photos.
The gentleman in the picture playing the horn while standing is Ron Snyder, who was a London tuba player at the time (mostly jazz, from what I have been able to determine). Note that the horn in the later photo with Ron has a bell collar, as the bell had to be cut to get the horn out of the Paxman basement (in the early 60's from what I can tell), due to some remodeling that was done after the horn was put down there.
