Looks genuine. Not from a film but almost certainly a Royal Navy training video - or a promotional Navy video. The equipment is totally genuine - I know the oxygen rebreather - CDBA or SCBA, as are the suits and small fins. I'd guess the film is early-60's - and combat swimmer strokes were not used at that time
I dont know about them being real commandoes, there sure is a lot of splashing above the water and around the boat. I didnt see a combat swim stroke. Freestyle stroke aint used in any frogman outfit. Too much giveaway splashes. Just saying. Cool Video tho
