Hi John,
The only such photo that I know of appears in the Shipbuilder reprint on page 171, showing the visit of the Canadian High Commissioner to the ship on May 25, 1948. The photo is of the people involved rather than ship's interiors, but the three windows in the background can be matched to the side windows of the Carolean smoking room in other photos taken when the ship was new. Not a lot of details of the room itself show; a few chairs and tables are visible, but what I found interesting was that the 1948 photo showed that the floor was carpeted, whereas the earlier photos showed a hardwood floor.
Best wishes,
Russell
