#36 - Bristol VRL/LH6L with ECW coach body CH42/18CT This one is probably c.1971 (prototype VRL introduced Earl's Court 1968)

All this is probably not wrong, but the Bristol VRL as a double-deck coach built only for Standerwick had its own designation that it was known by!  What is it?

Locked for your reply still..
Looking at the specific type numbers for the Standerwick VRLs I can tell you what I have found -
Chassis nos. for the Standerwick dd coaches were VRL/LH2 and numbered 102 (1969) and 127-155 (1971-1972).
Other than that i don't know.

Sorry woodinsight but it's still not the exact answer I'm looking for!
But you're so very nearly there that I can't throw it open.  It should be very easy to find out the answer so have another go...

#20 looks like a Syd Mead illustration of a future bus.

I haven't been able to ascertain that this was his work, but I would say it's highly likely that it was.
If you can tell me who he did it for, as that is the name of the design (***** Advanced Bus Styling Rendering), I can give you your point.
Locked for Otto!

I don't actually know who built the body; don't think it was Caetano, but it might have been.

No

#10: Not Eagle; regarding the body, as I said before I don't know who built the body, but Jonckheere is a definite possibility.

#23 is from Japan, yes!
#32 is not from India.
