What was the connection, if any, between Dell Bus and Jamaica Buses?

The faded lettering on 103 looks like _ _ OET SE _ _
The removed lettering on the front of 117 is obviously GREYHOUND.

MaBSTOA 15,

Any connection between Dell Bus Company and Jamaica Buses is unknown to me and absolutely nothing is mentioned about the company in the July/September 2012 (published 2014) Motor Coach Age devoted to Jamaica.

Jamaica had two 1960 PD 4104's numbered 301 and 302 and two 1962 PD 4106's numbered 310 and 311 and which were all bought new.

I'm of the thinking that these Dell buses may have been bought as parts cars or might have been subcontracting for Jamaica in revenue service with entree to Jamaica's shops.

The missing GM badges under the windshields might indicate that they were ex Greyhounds.

Regards,

Mr. 'L'

#117 says "OPERATOR: CROSS COUNTY COACH." The paper sign in the window says it's operating for Lotus Tours.

I think Cross County had operations in Westchester.

Also the Destination sign on #117 says Westchester/Connecticut
