Close enough. I have it as 1948 but they were built (in the Netherlands) over both years for the Dutch Government.

Thanks. By the way, these buses were not built for the Dutch Government, but were ordered by the national railways (Nederlandse Spoorwegen)

My source said the government. As the Railway in Britain was nationalised at the time, he may have assumed it was the same in the Netherlands.

Well, by that time the Dutch Railways was run by the government, so I can understand that your source says so
