One idea which came to me earlier is that the bandeau with the floral elements was not seen in the extensive 1959 tour in Australia.
Princess Alexandra attended numerous balls and evening receptions over the course of this tour; yet, the bandeau with the floral elements was not seen. Her head jewels were the stars, the Kent bandeau and the snake pearl tiara.
I suspect that the elements had not then been mounted to form a head ornament.
