This scene is on the courthouse exterior replica set at Desilu Cahuenga Studios, and includes a photo backdrop entirely inconsistent with the real set at 40 Acres. This is the same backdrop frequently glimpsed through the blinds and window immediately behind Andy's desk (the courthouse right side window):
In the following scene, we see a photographic backdrop in the background (through the courthouse front window) of the 40 Acres church:
In the scene below, filmed at Desilu Cahuenga, we see the standard photographic backdrop of the 40 Acres facades across the street from the Courthouse & Floyds:
The same episode included seamlessly-integrated scenes filmed at the actual 40 Acres window with a live action background:
This scene is shot on the replica exterior set on the sound stage. Notice the wall at the end of the sidewalk, as well as the storefront windows, which appear to utilize some type of fine mesh rather than real glass, and which are not angled downward:
Compare the shot above with the two below from 40 Acres, including the angled storefront windows, not to mention the lighting. (The windows weren't angled in the earliest episodes, so you can't always go by this clue alone):
