* '''SMB4A''' does not have the Trapeze CFMS unit installed.
* '''SMB12B''' previously had its windscreen wiper area painted over in white (similar to SMB30Z's previous SMRT Buses' new livery paint scheme) but has since been painted into Lush Green livery.
* '''SMB15T & SMB19H''' are equipped with newer generation instrument cluster.
* '''SMB16R''' features a smaller Mercedes-Benz front logo and also features the reversing chime instead of the usual SMRT chime.

* '''SMB25P''' has a larger 'SG♥BUS' logo pasted on the rear of the bus.
