Correctomundo!  I was talking N. American & Euro versions only.  Split
window busses-Fleetlines- were made in Brazil & I believe SA until
much later!  Then of course you have the Aus. models & the CKD NZ
versions.

Until recently, they were making WC bay windowish busses in Brazil, if
I remember correctly.
Also vanagons in SA?

YMMV,

Mr. BZ-new someone would elaborate more than I had time to!
