Different grilles on VO3X B2

CB2883J SG

Some VO3X in batch 2 have got slightly different grille/headlight area. The 1st type is rarer, it has a longer grille like B1 but square headlights. The 2nd type is shorter grille and this design continued in B3. There are some buses which mix both types.

I supposed custom fabricated ones are cheaper? haha. since WA theoretically is no longer around to produce those spares..

Yeah you're correct Sir!

I see, thanks.

That would explain why 9437 has a grille that "matches" both sides. (Note that 9557 above leaves a gap on its left/pic's right.)

The custom headlights are designed with a longer grille because using back Batch 1 grilles as spares? (Random thought)

Hey I just realised 9411P really has a Batch 1 part. The part right underneath the grille is from a B1. However the headlights are original on that one.
