Those certainly are bay rear wheel arches.

They are late bay arches but not central to the wheel..

Hang on a sec ..... I drive past this one on my way home every evening and I don't go via Leeds. I recognised the trailer and the unusual front bumper.

Don't want to knock a seller before I know all the info but maybe I'll take a peek tonight!

Very spooky... there's a similar RHD bus here in Southampton... Same bumpers, bay arches, colour... It belongs to the wife of a local garage owner. This is the only pic I've got to hand though...

Just did a search, one of BigSids pics from our recent Netley BBQ in June

103 FUY

I know they paid a LOT more than £3500 for it.... Got scam written all over it...

I only met the owners at this BBQ, nice family. Not had the bus long. Not into the VW scene, just fancied a bus and saw this on ebay and bought it. It was around the £10,000 mark. They've since been informed about all the faults with it, but I don't think are too bothered, and would rather just get out there and use and enjoy it. I'm not sure where it came from, or where it was restored. Judging by the bits used maybe Thailand??
Riva lives just down the road from them, I've dropped him a pm about this. I don't think they are on the forum.
