Looks like a (Watts body?) BCC Daimler, that's been butchered. 
Was the front of a semi trailer bus, servicing Murwillumba to Brisbane. The driver must've been a ledgend.
I don't think anything apart from the cab was Daimler, Inter perhaps?

    This looks like a sister bus

     


    This might be it 1945 White

    Not the pics ,but I recall two of the White semi trailer busses waiting at the Deagon station to take people from the train over the Hornibrook bridge to the peninsula......... they were originally built for the War Production Board in WW2. About 20 years ago Dale Barnard had one of the prime movers for sale .

    Thanks fellows, my picture and Lang's are of different vehicles. Visually similar but with differences around the windscreens and quarter glasses. Lang's appears to have the winged, White badge whereas mine has different garnishes on the wings.
    Apparently my father considered buying the/one of the ex-Hornibrook Whites, to convert to a motor home, quite a while after it had been withdrawn from service.
    I never saw either of the Whites, despite living within sight of Hornibrook's depot.
