It must have been some sort of command car, I think the guard is wearing Assistant Commissioner's badges.

Yes, that’s definitely a senior officer’s cap badge. 
I don’t know whether this car was specially assigned or just a random “what’s in stock” odd coloured fleet car. 
If my - fading - memory is correct there were a small few odd coloured cars in the Dublin fleet at the time.

And that’s definitely the Pearse Street station building in the background. Very distinctive windows.

At the time these were in regular use officers were required to salute senior officers, but the stability of the Velocette was so poor that taking your hands off the handlebars for even a moment could cause a loss of balance. Instead, officers upon the bikes began to nod at senior officers instead, earning the nickname 'noddies'.
