Clears my doubt on the car finally with this 2nd picture in colour .This is a Golden Anniversary car of Cadillac 1952 while the car at the 21 Gun Salute was an earlier car 1951

Cheers

Seated behind :Rawat Sawai Hari Singh ji of Begu, Rajrana saheb of Badi Sadri ,Maharaj Saheb Karan Singh ji of Karjali , Kunwar Harish Chander Singhj of Karjali !
I have been told that the car belonged to the Karjali (Mewar) family, which is another branch of the Udaipur royal family.
