The chassis plate is fixed behind the passenger seat. The plate shown here is a regular chassis plate fixed in buses that were made and assembled in Germany. Not every bus had this plate when it left the factory. Here are several reasons:

• For certain export markets the buses were standard deliverd with M912, meaning 'no chassis plate'. In this case you will find only two holes on the spot where the chassis plate should be. North American buses were also delivered without chassis plate from approximately model year 1975 onwards.
• Buses for the English market often have a larger chassis plate with the text in English instead of German.
• Buses assembled overseas had the German chassis plate in some cases. However, it is also possible that the plate is one from the overseas factory and looks completely different. These specific plates can be found on South African and Australia buses.
