I believe that photos of the kohinoor worn as a brooch are pre-1936, so finding one of good quality might be difficult. It has been recorded worn with and without a diamond honeysuckle element. I believe that the honeysuckle is absent in your photo which can also be viewed in a b&w version in this Court Jeweller link: https://staging.thecourtjeweller.com/index.php/2020/09/26/the-nightly-necklace-queen-alexandras-2/
The link below shows Queen Mary wearing the kohinoor in its honeysuckle brooch setting. Hanging from it is the 530 carat Cullinan I:
