Made in a country that drive on the right, but destined for a country that drove on the left?
Searching for the Builder's country (RHD), as I understand (based on your answers) no countries left. I must be wrong

Except for Swedish buses before 1967.

There are a surprising number of countries which drive on the left, some of which haven't been mentioned yet, e.g. Irish Republic, Thailand, Cyprus, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, some Caribbean countries, some island nations..  The odd one is Papua New Guinea, which is (or was?) jointly administered by the UK and France and where the Brits drive on the left and the French drive on the right!

It is not Australia.
@ Carnut, you are absolutely right and the country in question is part of your list...
Edit: the trials in Papua New Guinea were carried out simultaneously at the same place??  ;)

Was the bus operational in Sri Lanka?
Traffic in Papua New Guinea was (is!) a bit of a nightmare...!

The bus was a one-off, a prototype. Not developed for Sri Lanka.
