This is the scene in question. Bullingdon's second is the man co-ordinating the procedure of the duel.
At first I was pretty certain that it was Bernard Hepton, but now I'm not so sure. Hepton is listed as a Diner at Lord Wendover's feast on IMDB, which hardly does justice to his role in the film if it is indeed him playing Bullingdon's second. It's a wonderful performance so I need to know!
Unfortunately the final duel was not in Kubrick's original script for the movie, so no clues to be garnered there either.

Best answer: Yes, Peter Cellier, you can see him here in a role here from about ten years later where he is named as Sir Frank and is recognisably the same person, as in this IMDB entry.
