As far as I know, SN06 BMO is the one with a green LED display, could be more however and SN06 BMO is still in service, I already got a photo of it in December.
Yes, SN06BMO is the 'Green screen machine!'

DK04SUU also had blinds from new and was numerically (going off body and chassis numbers) newer than DK04SUH.

DK04SUU left when fairly new though and ended up in London with Travel London and later Abellio London.
Optare Solo MX54KXW did as expected depart on Good Friday and Alexander Dennis Dart SN05HDF and former London Enviro 200 SK07DYD have also left for scrap.
Another new arrival to note here is of former Weardale VDL SB180 / MCV Evolution YJ60GGF (B6WMS).

I wonder if it is to replace written-off YJ12 PLZ? Unless that was L15 PPN.
No it has been purchased primarily for school contracts to allow YJ12PLX to become available for regular service work, though like AY60BVD and SK07DYA will probably feature on service work as required. L15PPN was bought pretty much at the same time as YJ12PLZs accident anyway.
Noticed an MPD on 152/153 this afternoon.
Will have been SN06BMZ, it remained out on the evening 39A/60/141. Enviro 300 SK07DYA and SB180 AY60BVD replaced SN06BMO and YJ16DYO on evening duties on the 166/188 too.
VDL SB180 YJ60GGF entered service tonight, initially on the 159 but later moved onto the 144.
