Clockwise from top left - Daytime summary newsroom set; One O'Clock set in N2; One O'Clock/Nine O'Clock set in N2; Nine O'Clock set in N2; Six O'Clock set in N1; Six O;Clock set in N1.
When they shared N2, it appears the One's set was located in the low-ceiling extension part of the studio, with the Nine taking up the original part of N2 (it's odd how similar the Nine set is to the Six's). I believe that once the Nine left for the newsroom, the One set was reconfigured to the middle of the studio (and possibly enlarged a bit).
@DTV - would you know where the Gulf War coverage originated from? The same set also featured in the release of Terry Waite.

N9 and N8 were on the same floor (kind of), different buildings joined by a long corridor. It would take no more than 2 mins to get from one to the other.
N6 was on the same floor as the newsroom in the news centre (new building back then).
TC7 was a decent walk from the news centre as it was in the original building. 5/6 mins walk I'd say.
