It's retained its original registration though, by the look of it

It's stretched, isn't it?

..or distorted by the angle of the camera lens?

A standard Routemaster has four windows between the driver's cab and the stairs (and an RML has a short window in the middle).

This Routemaster, however, has five full-length windows. I may be wrong, but I didn't think that any were built that way originally.

Routemasters often had modifications during their career. Judging by the blurry plate (VLT 242 ?), it could be RM242, which was sold to Mac Tours of Edinburgh. See here.

But it's hard to determine which one it is, because there are a dozen buses doing sightseeing duties for Mac Tours.

It's an "ERM" - Extended Routemaster. RMLs had a half-bay inserted amidships .... the open-top ERM has a full-bay insertion. There were ten altogether, their original fleetnumbers gaining an "E" prefix: ERM nos 80, 84, 90, 94, 143, 163, 235, 235, 242 & 281. The conversions were originally undertaken by London Coaches.
