Just wondering if anyone could tell me why the Go North East Leyland Lynes were rebuilt both at the front and rear? Was also wondering when these rebuilds were done? When they were brand new they looked like this at the front: - https://www.flickr.com/photos/ian_simpson/2938247546 and then rebuilt to look like this https://www.flickr.com/photos/66289212@N07/49926097833. When they were new I remember they had the number plate on the bonnet at the rear and i'm sure it was moved to the top right corner and a new bonnet was fitted. Also noticed they done a rear rebuild with some of the ex  MCW Metrobus Mark IIs. Just asking out of curiousity really as I have been watching some old bus vids on YouTube.

Thanks

Which ones were these? Racked by brain and I can't remember any native examples having the rebuild.
