1: the DAF/Duple coach 7035, acquired March 1989 as C776 MVH, re-registered 340 GUP in June 1990, re-registered C799 JGR and sold in December 1994.
2: Volvo B10M (short)/Plaxton coach acquired from Gypsy Queen, Langley Park as E102 DJR, re-registered 340 GUP in December 1994, transferred to OK in July 1995, re-registered back to E102 DJR and sold in October 1997.
Registration 340 GUP on retention till -
3:Volvo B10BLE 4840, registered 340 GUP from new in April 1998.
Details of these cherished registrations (and the others currently with GNE) are from the records of the PSV Circle, the Northern Group Enthusiasts Club and on the subscription website BusView.
Hope that helps

Indeed it does, I suppose, just because a bus has had a registration through all its service life with Go North East, nothing is there to say that that it's the vehicles original registration.
