Ex Southend I reckon, they had an identical appliance registered XHJ219.

I might be wrong but I thought that Maudslay only related to the RegentIII/Merryweather appliances as those chassis were built (or maybe modified from the bus chassis) at the (formerly) Maudslay works. I have always thought of the Mercury chassis as AEC products.

The Regents were AECs, built in the Maudslay works. The Southend one in this posting is not an AEC Mercury. It is a Maudslay Merlin II.

something I hope clears up the is it an aec or is it a maudsley thing , up until 1960 or just after maudsley were still building chassis and thereafter were fully integrated into aec and all products were built by aec after that time scale , this aec style grill was used by merryweather on maudsley chassis just to make things seem otherwise

Maudsley were taken over by AEC in 1948 so after then it was an AEC even if an original Maudsley design. early days of badge engineering.
