Hello! I recently acquired this lot and am wondering if it is all from the same era and what sets exactly are here. The box is marked "The State Coach No. 1470" and the person I bought it from said it was from 1953. Thank you!

Looks like the Coronation Coach with escorts. the 1950s sounds about right. I am on vacation right now so I don't have access to my reference materials. Definately a post war Britains
 
Believe the W. Britains Ltd.(post WWII; circa 1953 is probably accurate) sets or partial sets you have are as follows:
Set No.1470 Her Majesty’s State Coach with team of eight Windsor Greys and Postilions in State Livery.(complete)
Set No. 1475 Attendants to the State Coach, Footmen, Outriders and Yeomen of the Guard. (partial set)
Set No.1 The Life Guards (2 complete sets)
Set No.2 The Royal Horse Guards (2 complete sets)
Set No.2067 The Sovereign’s Standard of the Life Guards and Escort. The Standard with Escort and a Trumpeter in State Dress, Corporals of Horse and Farriers of the Life Guards. (partial set)
If you need additional details you may want to check out http://www.leadsoldierbooks.com for reference books.
