 Matter of preference, but IMHO engine manufacturer is not worth to be mentioned in the extra field. Many bus producers use not own engines and additionally, in case of Van Hool, someone can think, that it is brand of chassis.

"A120/31" is worth to be placed in model name or chassis code field, as not all A120 looked the same.

 Or "DAF engine" which I had initially, but you're right it's not necessary.

 Are you saying that Van Hool built the whole chassis?
I've seen bus chassis from Volvo arriving at one of the body makers, and that wasn't much more than something one might call a "drive train", that is engine, gearbox and rear axle(s) (at rear)combined to one unit and steering and front axle (at front) as another unit. That meant the body builder effectively had to make the chassis as well as the rest of the structure, but still it was branded as a Volvo.

 Van Hool built the A120 mostly on Volvo chassis http://www.zone01.be/artikel/vanhool-a120-volvo
but thoses buses are clearly branded with a VOLVO logo.
This series is specified with a Van Hool chassis, not sure why exactly.

Alternative chassis (much less used) were DAF SB210, Leyland LFRE55 and Mercedes-Benz O 305: http://www.zone01.be/artikel/vanhool-a120-op-externe-chassis

 @chicomarx: There's a Belgian bus in exactly the same livery hiding behind this Volga in GoldenEye:

 UK scene though. This orange-blue-creme colour lasted until 1991, when the national transport company was split up to create regional equivalents. (De Lijn in Flanders and TEC in Wallonia)

 @chicomarx: Any idea what model that bus is? It's never been identified, because it wasn't really visible until the captures were upgraded to HD.

 Another A120? It seems to fit.
