The bus looks like a former Ribble 'White Lady'.
Leyland Titan PD1 (or PD2) chassis - forerunners of the 'Gay Hostess' Atlanteans.
 
The lorry is a LAD-cabbed Albion.
Depending on wheel-arrangement, it could be a Chieftain, Clydesdale or Reiver etc model.

'LAD' = Leyland Albion Dodge - who all used this cab, though with detail differences across the ranges.

Dunno much about the buses, but pretty sure what you are referring to is the front wheel arrangement, i.e twin front steering wheels more than one or two rear axles with twin tyred wheels?

I know that the 6x4 models were badged as Reivers, and 4x4s were Clydesdales.
During the late '60s/early '70s; some had LAD cabs, some had the Ergomatic tilt-cab.
The 'Ergo' was mounted on AEC, Albion and Leyland goods chassis.
