thanks for posting up those links Body of unidentified bus is boxier and shorter in length and height than those and the top is open air,but engine cover is very similar-thinking someone might have modified a "shorty" version of the linked Daimler/leyland busses into a low speed open top sightseeing bus.Found specs on the Harrington bus as in the Italian job and it has a Leyland 0-400 6-cyl,6.5L diesel rated for 125 HP.
