    I would assume that 31 was for the Marquess of Carisbrooke (next to his wife) but he may have been ill. He died in 1960.
    24, I guess was for the Duke of Beaufort but he may have not sat in the Royal box but had another seat in the area with the other Dukes - he was also Master of the Horse so would have ridden in the procession with the Queen
