I notice that there is a metal roundel stuck on a door on the outside of the
station, facing towards Purves Road. It doesn't look like a sign for public
information purposes... Is it new, and what does it signify?

Simply that Kensal Rise is now TfL territory perhaps?

But to whom does it signify it?

I think the door just needed replacing, and they used a door they had in
stock.

I think the building in question is a staff room for bus drivers, so
having public-but-not-public signage on it makes sense.

Thanks, that makes perfect sense.

Has it always fulfilled this role, or is this a new thing that's been
made possible since TfL's takeover of the railway?

It's not part of the station, and it looks purpose built.
