Hmm, unusual then. The MOD would keep a vehicle for more than three or four years, as the headlights in the wings were only introduced from 1968 with the 2A.

I imagine there would of been a period of overlap, with the last of the Series 2A vehicles being built and then stored to cover the period while the factory prepared for the Series 3. Although there wasn't a lot of difference between the last of the 2A vehicles and the early Series 3...
