'HX441' indicates it was possibly built on a (Karrier) Gamecock 4-ton truck chassis 141" wheelbase, and being, at the most, a 30 seater considerably shorter than the normal Avenger passenger chassis (161" to 210" wheelbases).

The 'HX' prefix is more of a mystery; the Gamecock was the 'E' series at the time and the Commer QX Mk.IV C-Series was 5 tons and above.

Not arguing with ID, but grille badge seems to be longer than just COMMER (or KARRIER?) lettering??

Dunno, comparison with width of grille aperture.

Commer badge shape and style agrees with 1961 date (and jfs link) Karrier was shorter and had an inverted shape compared to Commer.

I can only guess it was a attempt by Rootes to enter the small bus chassis market filling the gap between the Karrier 98A BF (14 seats) and Commer Avenger (over 30 seats).

Further searching for Karrier buses found other Gamecock truck chassis derived buses, Beadle produced two prototypes of integral bodied buses with Gamecock running gear in the mid 1950s and in about 1967 Hazlemere Motors built service buses on Karrier Gamecock chassis for the London Borough of Enfield.
edit: Karrier HZ (Gamecock WB 562 chassis) 5-Ton 162" wheelbase.

Also found this which although said to be a Karrier BF 98A chassis looks distinctly like it could be derived from Gamecock (with a Commer VA grille) but viewed only from the front makes seeing the, perhaps, double rear wheels and wheelbase difficult.
