There are two pictures of Princess Alexandra dancing with a gentleman. Is the tiara she is wearing the Kent Festoon Tiara?

From looking at the Kent Festoon Tiara page, I don't think she was wearing the Kent Festoon Tiara when she was dancing, but I am not sure which one. I think she was wearing it in the State Opening of Nigerian Parliament.
