Are you sure you meant what you said? There are externals that are involved in exams, but they do not mark, they are involved in making sure exams are "within guidelines" when exams are being made, and they also make sure marking had been done properly (but they generally do not exhaustively check everything).
To the best of my knowledge, marking in the UK must be done by lecturer+ in rank (e.g. not postgrads or postdocs).
If the lecturer happens to be a postdoc (which is not unheard of in a final year course, for instance) then they are also likely to do the marking. I agree that exam marking is unlikely to be farmed out to postdocs who are otherwise not involved with the course.
