Same vehicle last year.

I'm no expert, but the crew accommodation looks right,

and coupled with the fact there appears to be traces of the original paint on the front and by the door frame, it looks as if its right, though I'm not sure about the rear vehicle recovery bit, probably a later add on.

This was discussed in the 'Railway Motors' thread. IIRC it was concluded that the body is genuine BR but the chassis-cab isn't; BR never had Ford D-series crew buses and that body is from a later Dodge.
