Details: Another LBSL IRU at Eltham on 10th August 2021 was 9084VW. I had not previously noted the non-matching bumpstops on the rear doors, the one on the nearside door being much more pronounced. These vans have so-called 270 degree hinges, allowing the rear doors to open such that they rest alongside the bodywork. Such fittings are of particular use in scenarios like loading bays with restricted width. The nearside door bumpstop is presumably longer so that the side door can still be slid open when the rear door is fully open.
