Please help us identify this bus observed in Pyongyang for 2 points. Some people on social media previously suggested it might be a Taiwanese coachbuild imported via Cambodia.

(We don't know the clear identity of this bus)

Doesn't seem so easy to track down photos of such buses by Sankun Auto Body Co., Ltd. for confirmation. :-\

I couln't find a similar Sankun Hino bus, but I've found a very similar Scania K114 by Chengda

Perhaps it could be a different body from this coachbuilder which could potentially match entirely. I believe the base is indeed a Scania.
