Fairey Battle engine test bed. Being used to test the Fairey Monarch H24 engine that had 2 crankshafts each one running a propellor. Half the engine could be shut down in flight.
Interesting, the Fairey Gannet did the same.

NMF = Natural Metal Finish.
OD = Olive Drab.
I don't think the aircraft on the left are in NMF - they appear to be in OD, with light-coloured center cowling panels and fins, which might be NMF, although the tones suggest a solid colour, possibly yellow, and probably a Squadron I.D. colour.
