(though I cannot find a photograph of a solid lion on the top of the radiator!)

The long bonnet looks about right:

And the lion emblem may not be an original, of course.

I agree it looks about right with a Büssing-NAG. I just notice that Büssing-NAG has whipers mounted on the bottom of the front windows, while the bus on the photo has it mounted on the top (but that probably differs from model to model). Also, the front doors have different shapes. And I believe the lion on the radiator is genuine. Looks like this might be a hard nut to crush...

Someone needs to have a breakthrough with that lion emblem . . .

Not Saurer (Swiss) or Henschel as far as I can tell (and not Mercedes Benz).

The image of the lion, doesn't look right to me, and it looks more Canine, and to my eye (our business is based in the canine sector) although not an expert ,I would have placed it as a Standard Poodle. I half expect ridicule, but please bear in mind that these dogs were used extensively on the continent for military, police and retrieving work. A highly intelligent animal.
