This vehicle was new to the Anglo American Corporation as OKC 4464 in 1947, before passing to Welkom Bus Service as their 13 (OKE 1596, later 189 OKE). After withdrawal in 1967, the vehicle was again re-registered as BZV 518 FS, and was acquired for preservation by Stephen Coetzee. Currently resides at the Sandstone Heritage Trust, Sandstone Estate, South Africa.

Also in this scene are a Bedford J5 and an AEC Regal. Neither of these is in this screencap, so I'm not sure what the two other buses seen here are.

The blue bus on the left is an Albion of some description, though I'm afraid that's as much as I can offer at the moment.
