looks like a barndoor to me looking at the mirror holes in the A pilar, wiper divots? dash, steering wheel, and the hight of the rear cargo area over the engine. Seems likely this bus has had some kind of roof graft.

Wasn't there another Bdoor in Australia with post Bdoor roof? pics on here a few years ago?

I think I would leave out the raised luggage area due to the elevated shelving for display purposes. I do see the other areas your pointing out tho.

Or possibly a big heavy weight company like Bosch grabbed the first opportunity of the new model. Possibilities are endless without hard facts. Just taking a jab to see if any evidence has surfaced as a true post Barndoor.

Maybe a rep from Bosch can provide us with anything.

This bus has been talked about a fair bit in the past, and I think the conclusion was that the picture was edited (early photoshop lol) to make it look like a post 55 bus by adding a roof peak
