I guess anything is possible but registered six years after end of UK production and the Austin/Morris FF truck was not normally associated with a bus chassis?
From its appearance I would have assumed the driver's seating position would be noticeably higher for the FF but its only based on this view therefore I cannot be certain.

Replaced by the FJ in 1964 the last production of UK FF or FH K100 (5-ton) or K140 (7-tonn) trucks (or FF only with the vertical engine being earlier in 1962).

Either originally miss-identified or an unusual application but its probably the best identification from what is available.

An earlier bus which was built on an Austin FF K100 truck cab/chassis.

Another bus which was possibly based on the Austin FF K100 truck chassis.

If the 1970 registration is accurate either Hong Kong continued to build the FF or it could be the Austin FG K100 5-ton chassis which replaced the lighter FF, FH and FJ 5-ton trucks.
