Hey, I never noticed that before....

I had to watch it again but I see it now. Yeah, the "Spock" Klingon was in two places at the same time. It must have been a camera-lighting thing where the beard gap wasn't as apparent in the part where he is restraining Kirk.
They could have filmed some of those different scenes/angles hours apart. The script supervisor should have caught this goof, but the 3rd season was full of other mysterious happenings.

I guess they didn’t have enough Klingon soldiers. Watch the Klingon on the left. He’s holding Kirk…
Then he’s standing behind McCoy…
Then he’s still holding Kirk…
Good find! He’s the Klingon version of The Flash.

I think it's way more likely that they were being efficient by putting a background actor on double duty. And they knew what they were doing; I never noticed him in a hundred syndie viewings. The eye is powerfully drawn to Kirk and McCoy in those shots, not some nameless, swarthy guard with no lines.
It's the same with Billy Blackburn on the bridge, way in the background. The director knew we were looking at Kirk, or this rare view of the most mouth-watering set on television— not trying to recognize a background guy. And don't forget, the old CRT television sets seriously softened the details of a distant face. They knew what they were doing and it worked perfectly.
LOL, I like the Spock Klingon being the Flash 
I can imagine during the camera cut between Kirk being restrained that the Spock Klingon noticed McCoy was about to do (say) something so he immediately moved back to cover McCoy. Then during the next camera cut he went back to restraining Kirk

‘Alternative Factor’
I just find it hilarious how Lazarus manhandled Kirk while the security guard in the background, Ron Veto, smiled.

Kirk leads from the front. That's why all his security guys are willing to get killed for him

Isn’t it Obssession that leads the series in red shirts getting wacked?
Better Jim than him.
A Kirk Fu neck chop or Kirk drop kick would have taken care of Lazarus.

No match for a big hug.
That we saw on screen? Tied with "THE CHANGELING" and "THE APPLE", with 4 redshirts. We might as well add "AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD"... two were beamed into space, and Kirk never bothered to go back to Triacus to pick up his other two left on the planet.Isn’t it Obssession that leads the series in red shirts getting wacked?
Though "OBSESSION" did have at least 1 more crewman killed offscreen on the ship when the cloud creature entered... so that puts them up there on amount of crew deaths, along with "WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE".
GUARD TWO: A hundred quatloos on Lazarus.‘Alternative Factor’

GUARD ONE: Four hundred quatloos against Lazarus.
KIRK (grunting): Two hundred quatloos against!
GUARD TWO: Five hundred for Lazarus.

That's hilarious, I never noticed that before. Yeah, he's really happy about the whole thing. And the other guard, looks like he wants to do something -- ready to jump -- but I guess the Captain of your ship being attacked isn't enough to get worked up about.
Spock used it against Mitchell before this. Kirk learned from the best.A Kirk Fu neck chop or Kirk drop kick would have taken care of Lazarus.
This makes me laugh every time.
And he played an evil Hulk
“City On The Edge Of Forever”
Something I can’t figure out…Uhura is wearing a black ‘arm band’ near the braid on the left hand sleeve of her Starfleet uniform.

Like a mourning band? Had the actress lost someone?
