This list is to
help people identify an ex Victorian Government bus they find at private
operator or as motor home, etc It should be noted not all buses will have correct fleet number and body numbers, for various reasons. E.g. swapped between buses |

| M.A.N SL200/Ansair MK1 100 - 229 | EXAMPLES | |
| Body Plate located in Front step well, with | Body MAN1229 | Body MAN1232 |
| a small 4 digit number on them | - 1101 | - 1101 |
| The formula is simply Body number - 1101 | = 128 | = 131 |
| M.A.N SL200/Ansair MK1 230 - 259 | EXAMPLES | |
| Body Plate located in Front step well, with | Body MAN1533 | Body MAN1536 |
| a small 4 digit number on them | - 1301 | - 1301 |
| The formula is simply Body number -1101 | = 232 | = 235 |
| M.A.N SL200/Ansair MK2 | EXAMPLES | |
| Body Plate located in Front step well, with | Body MAN1972 | Body MAN1977 |
| a small 4 digit number on them | - 1676 | - 1676 |
| The formula is simply Body number -1676 | = 296 | = 301 |

IDEAS/WAYS TO FIND A BODY PLATE |
||
| 1. Look for a possible number similar to a body number inside header/desto box. | ||
| 2. Next plate to look for is a silver compliance plate located behind the driver’s seat above the bulkhead window, There are a lot of numbers on this, one who knows what they are looking for will find the body number. | ||
| 3. Chassis number will not have a body number, but can be used for vehicle checking later. | ||
| 4. Look behind drivers cab, for a plate that might have body number on it | ||
|
IDEAS/WAYS TO FIND A FLEET NUMBER. |
||
| Many companies that have ex MMTB/Vicrail/PTC/MET buses, do
not remove the fleet number from inside the bus .So on many of this ex
government buses you can still find out what its fleet number was by looking
for the ex government fleet number. Ways to find these fleet numbers are listed below |
||
| 1. Look for a possible number similar to an ex MMTB/PTC/MET fleet number inside header/desto box. | ||
| 2. Look behind drivers cab, often Fleet numbers were put on behind the drivers cab | ||
| 3. Look up at the top right hand Conner at the front of the bus, often fleet numbers were placed here to make it easy for drivers to know the fleet number of their bus | ||
|
IDEAS/WAYS TO FIND A CHASSIS NUMBER |
||
| 1. Look for a possible number similar to a chassis number inside header/desto box. | ||
| 2. Look behind drivers cab, for a plate that might have Chassis number on it | ||
| 3. Look near the front door/step well for a plate that might have Chassis number on it .(Most of the buses since 1970's had their Chassis plates here | ||
| 4. Also simple locations of fittings like school lights, or if the side desto units or centre doors are removed or not may help narrow down the possibilities for working out the buses origin. | ||
| I hope this list is useful in help people find fleet numbers, chassis numbers, body numbers on former Vic Government buses. | ||
