Araon is spot on here.

The M-Plate should tally exactly with the chassis number etc unless you have input the codes in wrongly. Check and double check that you have read them correctly, as they may be obscured by years of paint and murk. Take a 'rubbing' if that helps. The 3 and 9 can be difficult to distinguish, so check those in particular. If you are struggling with the decoder online, tell us what the codes are and we will help you to decipher them.

Post a few pics of the bus and you will get some good advice on here.
