Later than that. Looks like one of the first batch of London Transport SM class AEC Swifts introduced late 1969 into 1970. Alternatively it could be an AEC Merlin (London Transport's own variant of the Swift). THe single door versions of ech looked very similar. Is there a screencap showing a fleet number?

In my opinion, this is a Swift Rather Than a Merlin, The longer Merlins had a short window behind the step-up in the waist rail, but this bus appears to have a long window bay there making it an SM class swift. The single door swifts were SM1-50 AML1-50H delivered with Marshall bodies in 1970.
