Bus number blinds from an unknown operator

Just a little oddity discovered in the attic and the only clue is a pencil notes saying "inspected OK by Brockhouse" - the blind itself is made by the Whitely Tool Company of London SW18. Otherwise I've no idea which operators these were made for - it runs from 1 to 29 with many "A" suffixes.

Brockhouse were bus body builders based in Scotland from 1947 until 1951 during the post-war 'boom' years for bus manufacturing. They were part of the much older West Bromwich based concern of Brockhouse.

I've posted these because I rather enjoy the numerals typographically - especially that off number "3" and the many suffixed "A"s.
