Don't special fares apply between Kenton and Harrow & Wealdstone, on the
Bakerloo Line? What's that about?

I think that has gone since PAYG was launched and TfL took over London
Overground.

The answer to your question would be "history and BR and then TOC
intransigence". LUL tried to get rid of that nonsense years ago and was
told to "go away" ever so politely by the "big railway".

What was the difference in fares?

LU zonal singles and returns (and LT cards) weren't valid to H&W. You
had to get a ticket to it as if it were an NR station (just like e.g.
Headstone Lane).

Also, was the section between Kenton
and H&W operated by National Rail? What about between Queen's Park and
Kenton?

It was as today.
