No, that was Matthew Roney (James Donald) who gave his life for London.
He was the scientist who was called to the site first.  He is thin and
has a craggy, clean-shaven face.  Bernard Quatermass (Andrew Kier), is
heavier set and has a moustache and beard.  In the climax Quatermass is
going around the construction site to save Barbara Judd (Barbara
Shelley) and Roney climbs the crane and rides it into the energy
column.  QUATERMASS CONCLUSION (based on reading the novel) involves a
much older Quatermass in a London that is falling apart.
