Steve
The photo appears in Vol II of the RAF Marine Craft Directory. The 4 pinnaces in the picture appear to all be GSPs. This publication mentions that 1255 was built as an ASR pinnace MKI (on charge 22-01-43) and later (1944) converted to a General Service Pinnace MKIIb, and renumbered 1411 so I think it is unlikely any of the boats in the photo are of your boat.
