I am a bit puzzled by your message. For me, the rivières worn by Queen Elizabeth II on Bryce's initial picture, at the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games and possibly on your post's first picture (taken on 19 November 2012 at a Royal Variety Performance) look very much alike, so I suspect they could be the same. But of course, with so many rivières available for the Queen, I can be wrong...
Queen(-Mother) Elizabeth's Coronation rivière was inherited by the Queen in 2002, but has been loaned to the Duchess of Cornwall, who had it shortened by nine collets (source: Hugh Roberts' The Queen's Diamonds).
