It was by chance that I came across this short film (42 sec) of Commandos. The film is stamped IWM but published on a French site:

N°6 Commando in trenches at the Saulnier farm (Amfreville, France)
Syd Dann of N°6 Commando in position at the entrance to the Saulnier farm.

Lt-Col Mills- Roberts with a para officer.
Lord Lovat in front of the Saulnier farm.

Enjoy

On the facebook page, just above left of the film if you click on "Back to Album" there are a total of 23 very short film clips taken around D-Day, mainly of N°4 but also includes N°6, the 10 minute film "By Sea and Land" is of RM Commandos. I think that they are all IWM copies.
