This is definitely not an AR, I am certain that it is one of the first batch of TD4s (R1 to 50), the rear profile is very upright/straight. The vents varied right throughout the TD fleet, I thought initially that certain batches had particular types but this was not the case. AR1 had the normal R type body only 7'6" wide with the narrow window pillar so if it was going to be an AR it would be AR1. I agree that the radiator looks odd, the grill may simply be painted silver which could be throwing us, but I am sticking to my original hunch. This photo also appeared in "Wheels around Dublin" with some others equally interesting which I can post unless Towbar has the same book!
The standard R seems to be one of the originals with the painted radiator, R281-290. The GNR single decker is one of the Regal 3 buses of the 403-426 batch from 1948 .
