Update
It is alternatively possible that this bus had a frontal accident which required a windshield replacement or some kind of local repair.

The splitted windshield was used in Mercedes Benz Travego O 580-15RHD 2000 49 seater. I guess the puzzle bus, is some local copy. There are some details that doesn't match

The non-matching parts look rather hammerbuilt locally.

2 points awarded, thanks for helping out!
