This is probably an inaugural special or a trial run of the deluxe express. The regular running of the deluxe express started from 2nd October, 1956 from Howrah.
They are mostly middle class people, as AC/CC back then was the equivalent of today's 3rd A/C.

There were no 3 tier A/C sleeper coaches back then. Before independence, there was only 1st class A/C, as they felt that only the 1st class passengers would prefer to spend money on A/C travel.
Deluxe (Poorva and Paschim) trains were the first trains to get A/C chair car to cater to second class and third class passengers. Shortly afterwards, A/C 2 tier sleeper too started.
