If one zooms-in a lot, one can see, ( - just about), below the lower-deck rear window, is written (in gold) the seating capacity of the upper and lower decks.
I cannot see the point of putting this on the outside, and I cannot remember seeing this on 6046-55 and 6092-96 when new at Worcester, nor on any other buses at that time --
my guess is that it was an antiquated legal requirement, and that it disappeared during the repaints of 1968+ (?) -- any info anyone ??
ALSO, - I'm very glad that one of the neat, rectangular BMMO badges has survived and been refitted to 6015.
(My guess is these got removed for ease of repaints -?)
AND, - I believe I can remember these being fitted to 6046-55, but I'm not sure about 6092-96 (?)
