Ah, most likely. Brian called today; IIRC he said there were 5 of them at the bus depot. Regrettably they would seem; or Brian's at least, to have had the apprentices properly sand them down, as you do, before painting in the bus company livery so the original markings were gone.

The up-side is that a proper job was made of the paint work, and with regular re-painting in civvy service the metal work has been excellently preserved he says.
