Then it is likely a Volvo with a body built by Føreland Øvrebrø-Vest Agder. The shape of the roof posts suggests this.

Used by NSB ( Norske Staatsbane ) for long-distance line. Therefore the so called "Theaterbestuhlung" (Theater seating).

Perfect found!
The bus was built on a Volvo chassis and equipped with many comfortable features, like amphitheater floors, adjustable chairs, fabric seats, reading lamps and ashtrays. It must also be mentioned that due to a very advanced ventilation system, passengers were allowed to smoke in the bus! Norway's only 'smoking bus' ran for many years on the route Ålesund - Dombås and reached the million kilometres mileage
