My friend bought a job lot at a charity shop here in Guernsey the other day, and in amongst it was this MB17 London Bus in 'Berger Vehicle Refinishes' livery. The stickers have clearly been on it a long time- could it be an unknown variant? I don't see any reference to it in Charlie Mack's Encyclopaedia of Matchbox Toys 2nd edition?
17 London Bus- England casting- is this original?

This is the usual design on the Londoner.

The standard model shows there was a relationship between Lesney and Berger, so a run of blank models for a Code 2 seems plausible.
