- features a smaller Mercedes-Benz badge at the front bumper.
- features the reversing chime instead of the usual SMRT chime.
- SMB19H & SMB67T were formerly APAD-registered.
- SMB19H is equipped with newer generation instrument cluster.
- SMB30Z was previously repainted in SMRT Buses' new livery.
- SMB37E & SMB55C feature blue tinted window on the nearside near the rear door of the bus.
