Interesting photo, date and location unknown however.
But it looks like that could be Dan Inosanto narrating what Mr. Parker is doing. Notice the mats being used, if you can call those mats.

Tom Bleecker - On another Kenpo forum, the statement was made that I was the first teenage black belt awarded by Ed Parker. To clarify, this is incorrect. While I was the first black belt awarded by Ed Parker at the Santa Monica / WLA schools, the first teenage black belt of Mr. Parker's Family Tree of Black Belts was awarded to either Paul Psik (born March 1946) or Steve Golden (born July 1946), who were both students at the Pasadena school. Both these gentlemen were far ahead of me. This is a photo taken at a demo in 1962. That's me on the floor wearing a white belt. Steve Golden is standing over me, either a brown or black belt.
The person Ed Parker is demonstrating on is Tom Bleecker, circa early 1963. Dan Inosanto is standing in back a the mic. He was a brown belt at the time.
