I believe the original plan was to have all of them painted plain white so that they could be sold after their service days where up, however they seemed to give up on the idea of full repaints after only 2 where done (of course one of them was accidentally painted in the full livery too) and instead just covered up the first bits! Some of them still have the First fleetnumbers on the side next to the fuel fill too. I believe the 2 ex Chester Palatine Volvo Olympians are painted in the same fashion.

Passengers probably wouldnt notice any different, they'll believe the L94UBs are brand new buses now that theyre painted!
