"The Napier-Cambell" should read Napier-Campbell "Bluebird".
"M/S of group of mechanics" - amongst them is Campbell's chief mechanic Leo Villa.
"M/S of racing car, with smooth, aerodynamic shell on, pan to show older racing car" - the racing car is again "Bluebird", the other vehicle is a Bugatti Type 35.
"little boy in pedal car (probably young Donald Campbell)" - yes, that's Donald Campbell.
"his mother" - that's Dorothy Campbell.
The other car - YP 4073 - appears to be a Bugatti 2-litre Type 35 (or possibly the Type 39A - a rare 1500cc version of the Type 35 - he acquired from Bugatti in 1926).
