The movie was set about 35 years before the filming date, so the preserved bus probably had special adverts added by the movie company to represent the period. So the size of the front ads may not be correct. The actual preserved bus KGK575 is seen here. I think it unlikely that the registration number was changed. http://martinruthe.fotopic.net/p52948913.html
