I think the guy doing Biu Jee might be Pak Cheung. He was a student of Leung Sheung and Tang Yik and it looks like the Leung Sheung version of the form.
Yip Man's WC skill has been highly exaggerated due to widespread popularity of his style as well as connection with Bruce Lee. There are many other wonderful but lesser-known WC lineages out there and a number of which I would consider superior to YM's.
Ip Man was not a street fighter. He was born in a middle class family. His father paid for his tuition to learn Wing Chun from one of the Wing Chun branches. There are many different lineages of Wing Chun. They use a different Chinese character for the word "wing". This guy's Wing Chun is "永", but Ip Man's Wing Chun is "詠". Chun is "春" meaning "spring". Ip Man Wing Chun is '詠春" which literally means "chanting a poem of spring". "永春" means "always being spring". Why are there so many versions? Wing Chun was not originated from Guangdong province, but was brought to Guangdong by a Chinese opera player from Hubei, who was involved in fighting against the Ta Ching Manchurian army. Hubei people could not speak Cantonese. And in Hubei, the word "永" and "詠" have exactly the same pronunciation. My speculation is that the original word should be "泳", meaning "swim". If you look at most of the hand forms in Wing Chun, you will find that they are almost all related to the hand, arm, and shoulder positions of a person swimming using "breaststroke".
So Grateful to be able to see these clips many thanks for sharing :)

Nice video, thank you Sifu
super thank you
It would have been quite interesting to see, how great Yip Man could have been if he had learned the entire Wing Chun system.

That footwork is mesmerizing. Who's the man doing Biu Jee at 20:48?
Or maybe it's the GM Ng Wah Sum
