Whilst not completely happy with the wheel design, I would suggest that this may be a 1929 - 32 Mathis Type U1.

I now see this has (what appears to be) an old Swedish plate, and appears to be RHD as well, as they were until 1967. Maybe a Scania-Vabis?

Though I would expect the Swedish spelling to be "Petterson" with two Ts, which might hint this scene was faked in the UK.

EDIT: quite similar, down to the disc wheels:

But not sure at all.

We already know the bus is from the Scania museum, so how about the 1927 Scania-Vabis 3251 from there? The box could be added for the film.

And here it is around the time of filming with its old Swedish plate, which at least contains the ciphers 12:

Indeed, nice find. Strange that it is RHD. It was registered in 1965 and eventough B1234 looks like a made up number the plate in the new system also ends in 4 which point to that it was the real number.

In 1957 B1234 belonged to a 1952 Opel truck or van.

B = Stockholms län.

Why? You drove on the left until 1967.

Only buses were RHD. Maybe this was a bus at some point in its life? Perhaps that's why it was registered in 1965?

Good to know, thanks! So all the '67s' here are false alarms:

I don't know who put the date on these vehicles and I don't know why they are listed with these years.
