I noticed that the Flickr site dates the photo to 28 May 1962, which is the day of the banquet/ball Princess Alexandra attended and lost her brooch. https://www.flickr.com/photos/21116944@N08/36144807272
If the press was correct then this brooch came from Queen Mary (as well as the oblong diamond brooch)
I don't think that we have seen Queen Mary photographed wearing it. It is not part of the Duchess of Gloucester's pearl and diamond stomacher which was left to the Duchess of Teck.
