Is this not where the designation of E40D (or indeed E20D) came in?
The bumper thing would've likely been number plates weren't allowed to be behind glass anymore / has to be lit up and the side marker lights. Believe it was the same time legally the fire exit door had to be on the same level as the entrance on single deckers, the reason it's in the middle now vs being at the back.
It would've been 2010/11 as Arriva's early Pulsars and Geminis don't have side markers and the Pulsars number plates were moved from behind glass to at the bottom. See below the minor changes:
