Manchester suburb, 1975. - a photo on Flickriver

Manchester suburb, 1975.

            A photograph taken at Guide Bridge, Ashton-under-Lyne, Manchester, on Wednesday 11th June 1975.  I've been trying to get oriented on Live Maps "aerial view", and I think we are looking along Stockport Road with the turning on the right, behind the bus, being Howe Street.  The buildings seem to be extant.
The bus is a Leyland Titan of some sort, probably from one of the Manchester municipal fleets, but now in the livery of Greater Manchester PTE.  The fleetname says "Greater Manchester Transport" ...a style I don't remember.  Would the vehicle have been ex Stalybridge, Hyde, Mossley & Dukinfield Joint Transport & Electricity Board?  The registration number looks like 3718 VW, but that's Chelmsford.  And what are those two small rectangular panels on either side of the destination aperture?
