On probabilities alone, since we can't see enough to be certain, most likely Guy Arabs, most likely Park Royal coachwork, but many other options for both chassis and body. To make matters worse, LT used to pull stunts like swapping bodies around the chassis come overhaul time, so a bus went into the works with one identity and came out with another. -- Last edit: 2014-07-18 22:11:41
