No, they are Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery Regiment. The King's Troop form the purely ceremonial part of the regiment, which is the exception, having soldiers dedicated purely to ceremonial duty. Their main task is performing gun salutes on state occasions.
Soldiers of the Household Cavalry when posted on ceremonial at Horse Guards bear sabres as well. However they are serving combat soldiers who are rotated within the regiment to perform public duties as well, unlike these chaps here.
The Band is the Regimental Band of the Coldstream Guards, followed by a dismounted detachment of the Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery. The Kings Troop are not part of the Household Divison but can be seen on parade with the Guards mostly at Trooping the Colour.
Impressive straight lines!
