A39 was one think the others were A2xx can't remember which ones ?

The Saro bodied AEC was A40, the other Saro A39 was in normal colours.

The later silver buses were Leylands, I think there were more than four - L294,295,303-309.
These were part of the batch which stood unfinished in Edge Lane Works for years (L280-309). They had Crossley bodyshells which the Corporation should have finished but instead they were eventually finished by Metro Cammell.
They weren't really silver, they were just unpainted as an economy measure. Looked great when new but soon looked shabby!
