There may also be test equipment attached - the bus looks driverless, so was there a cable connection for remote driving from the car? The other question in my mind was if this is an estate - the C-pillar is emphasised as if a vinyl roof, which was fitted to all Mk4 estates to hide metalwork joins from the conversion, and an estate might be needed for the test equipment.
