Actually - they are the same size as the destinations on the rear of the "Venture" branded Optare Solo SRs and "Citylink" branded Optare Versas: 160x24.
Optare could not fit that size of destination into the rear of their vehicles in 2013 (so a condensed version of the same size destination was fitted - which is why it appears to look more 'high definition' than usual 128x17 rear displays), but have since made modifications to the design, allowing the full 'normal' 160x24 LED display size to be fitted instead.
