Going a bit off-topic here...
Actually, the Japanese had the Hino HT2XX series buses (which we
all know is the "companion" to the Nissans in TIBS' early days),
and they had exactly the same body, design,
and apparently, even the air-conditioning unit as as our Hinos! I
still remember that there was this old NEC Computer advertisement -
in the final scene, there is a NEC logo in front of a Japanese city
scene, which shows several buses rounding a roundabout from a
bird's-eye view. Look carefully - you can spot a Hino HT2XX among
the buses!
And I also remember a scene from some Japanese movie - if your eyes
are sharp enough, you can actually spot the same type of bus in the
background!
