LT like the others?

Yes - LT stood for Long Type (not London Transport) triple axles as a counterpart to the AEC ST (Short Type) versions with twin axles.

Nothing to do with London Transport who did not have any AEC buses with Northern Counties bodies built in 1939.

I think it is the Leicester bus to which the link refers. The front number plate positioned between the decks matches the link.

But 6 wheelers/triple axles are supposed to be Long Type therefore LT??

LT refers to the Class of bus operated by London Transport.

The chassis is the AEC Renown 663, or 664, preceded by letter O for oil engine, if fitted, or followed by letter T if a trolleybuses.

OK, removed. Buses confuse me, so I'd better not do a Truss-Kwarteng crash to the system.

It’s a minefield, there are 4 wheeled Renowns as well as six, and two lengths of six wheeled chassis. If we take the analogy of the RT, we do not call provincial Regent IIIs “RT” when they do not carry London Transport style bodies.

Trying to classify 1920s Rolls-Royces is a piece of cake compared with London buses, as they kept changing the designs during service.
