Whoever painted 3044 has forgotten to replace the headlamp surrounds. It looks very odd :-)

Yes I agree. This happened regularly on the Crusaders and Renowns especially after MOT's. I can't think what would make a fitter send a bus back to service in that state, I suppose if they snap them pulling them off and have to reorder may be one reason??

Very likely. I have to say, though, that apart from this oversight the repaints have been carried out to a very high standard.
