In "Embassy", Volkov, unlike his anonymous counterpart in "Hotel", is hostile even when you're dressed as an agent. This is unlike "Hotel" where the traitor actually falls for your guard disguise.
My theories of this are:
1. I don't see why a bunch of armed guards are in a hotel. Are they MI5 or something, because they seem to be increased security because of the diplomat's presence...
2. The guards were obviously hired by the diplomat to protect him before and after his meeting with the traitor.
3. Because the guards were assigned to protect the diplomat, the traitor can't tell the difference between a real guard and an impostor (Strogov).
4. This doesn't apply to "Embassy", where the agents were assigned to protect the traitor (Volkov).
5. Because the agents served as Volkov's bodyguards, Volkov would know who's who, explaining why Volkov can still attack Strogov on sight even if he is wearing an agent's suit.
