They even change the DM plate.
Conclusion: They tried hard to cover but failed to.

Oh yeah, btw, I gotta thanks chickenlittle2 on taking closer looks on 372C. SBS9888Y as well, thanks him for being so observant, if not, I would've missed the speaker.

on the current 303C. -
sorry i am a bit confused. the chassis is the original 303C? so they just used the body of of 372C and fit onto 303C?

Most likely, they only change the plates.
Think about it, now, whole world recession. What would they do? Save costs right? If they fit the body of SBS372C to SBS303C, it'll cost very much more than just fixing the front. Would u rather take out the whole body, leaving only the chassis or u rather u fix the front? -
There are a few guesses around now...
Probable: Chassis plates and registration plates shifted from 303C to 372C, making 372C the present 303C.
Not so probable: Bodywork is changed. 303C bodywork destroyed to put 372C bodywork on it, plates shifted over, 372C deregistered and chassis scrapped.
-
Or is it SBST's idea of cross-breeding?

Original SBS303C, still AMDEP period.

Again, the SBST logo. Original has "it' above the fuel thing, this one "si" above that.
Nothing much on the offside..lols

you can't remove the whole bodywork from an existing bus and transplant on another chassis, but only cannibalise some parts including the whole front. the use of 303C.... my guess is, a quota for extension of O405's exists and the list of buses to be retained for extension was already drawn up. because of the loss of 303C, they have decided to keep one of the buses which is 372C. but the licence plate 372C cannot be used again after it is officially deregistered, so it is logical to use the licence plate of 303C after consultation with LTA/ROV since the plate 303C is still actively being laid up.

So they got to deregister both licence plates and re-register the body of 372C under 303C? -

The key here is, the plate 303C was never de-registered before this but just laid up, so the 303C plate can be transferred to 372C. -
