The body is a 1966+ Duple "Bella". I have no ides what chassis it's built on. Apparently that is important.

That is because it apparently was named differently depending on what chassis it was built: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Duple_Viceroy .

We have other miners picket line coaches in clips here , here and here, and a fake.

I don't think any of them match the white subject coach, but a couple may match the blue one on left. Or not, as there's probably lots of archive footage of lots of different coaches from this troubled time.

If it is in fact a Bedford chassis, the screen suggests a Bella Venture, rather than Vista 25. I am not sure if the Bella Vega ever had this frontal appearance? Vega 31 completely different, of course.
