Maybe something happened in the battle that led to him using two swords even if he didn't start out that way? Maybe it's one of the other two King's Guard that were there? The casting call for the character everyone assumed would be Arthur Dayne specifically mentioned that he weilds a great sword, so they seemed to know about Dawn. We'll have to wait and see I guess, but I agree, that would be a weird thing to change because it would seem completely unnecessary.
As for that scene at 1:16, it is definitely a king's guard fighting at least one northman. The helm is very similar to current king's guard, and of course the breast plate is different since they served a Targaryan king (and thus had dragons), and Robert obviously wasn't going to have his king's guard wearing dragons after he overthrew the Targaryans.
