The second picture has to be the 4th at Bel-Air. If the first pi true is the 5th,and maybe it is,was it before the tunnel was built.I am having trouble with how you could see the 6th tee. Would it not be over the hill that the street runs atop?

The cart path and tunnel are probably responsible for the loss of the back bunkers.  During the 60's and 70's, the property above the tunnel which occupies the space between the 2nd green, 3rd hole, 4th hole, and 5th green was the residence of Baron Hilton.  I occasionally caddied at Bel !ir in high school and was classmates with the Merrins brothers.

David,

You're right that it wasn't Match Play.  That was apparently filmed at El Caballero Country Club. Here's another picture from that movie and the cast is quite different than in Brian's initial two pictures and the same as in your picture.
