Isn't that an odd bus, that seemed to have skipped the designers table? I've seen only one picture of it once. I think it belonged to the company Barraqueiro. Most likely only a couple of those were built. Thank you for taking a picture of that very rare bus type.
Yes I thought it was a bit of one-off too

Thanks Joao, it looks even more strange from the side. looking at the wheels it looks like a Leyland?
No, it's one of the older AEC's that got rebuilt by a not very well known coach builder. According to our Portuguese friends there's has been a second and similar one at another company.
The other one can be found here:

I think that flat front would be problematical. For a start it would certainly not help the performance on the open road heading in to a strong wind and I imagine there would have been a lot of reflexions from other headlights at night.
