Penhros - many thanks for the U25, T49 and T32 drawings. Very nice!
Apropos the coach at Didcot (it must have been hiding until recently under one of their tarpaulins in the coach sheds), assuming it really is 416, then yes that would make it a T49 according to Harris. However, Harris denotes T49 as an 8'6" wide body, which would make it City stock, and not what Buffalo was after in the OP. And if T49 is City stock, why hasn't Didcot's example got the Holden doors? So is Harris wrong*? Is this a 8' body or an 8'6" body?
I'll start that second para again - having looked at my primary copy of Harris (I have two, no, don't ask), I have done a pencil amendment at some time in the past to denote lot 700 as 8' wide, rather than 8'6" as given in the list. Didcot's specimen is definitely 8' wide, because the 8'6" wide City stock didn't have duckets. Looking at some old correspondence with John Lewis, he confirms that figure 59 of GW Coaches Part One is a T49, and that lot 582 (which includes Didcot's example) is T49.
* there are some typos in his list
