No. The only campaign type medal that covers this period is the General Service Medal and that would only be for qualifying service:
1962 onwards -Borneo, Radfan, South Arabia, Malaya, Sth Vietnam (Aus only), Northern Ireland, Dhofar, Lebanon, Gulf, Kuwait & Northern Iraq.

Pre 1962- Persia, Kurdistan, Iraq, Palestine, Cyprus, Near east, Arabia, Canal zone, Malaya, Berlin, Brunei.

There's definitely a Korean UN medal, it has yellow/blue stripes on the ribbon.
The Kenya medal might be the 'Africa General Service Medal' which has a Kenya clasp for service from 1955-56.
