I imagine this and the other two photos were taken in the Summer of 1974.

This looks to me like Daimler Fleetline DMS795 - TGX795M. DMS795 was new 'in storage' at Walthamstow Garage (WW) in December 1973. It was used for the conversion of Route 144 to one-person operation on 5th January 1974. It spent all it's working life in London working from Walthamstow Garage and was withdrawn in December 1980. 

It was then exported to Hong Kong by the dealers 'Ensign Bus' to whom it was sold in 1980. In Hong Kong it worked for the Kowloon Motor Bus Company as CP281 from March 1981 until 1985, being scrapped sometime after that.
