The buses, First Eastern Counties 32211 TJI 4838 and 32208 HIG 8790, were positioned such that he could finally take a decent photograph of them. Both were modified to partial open-tops for the Land's End Coaster. They were taken out of service last year and replaced by Enviro400s. The twosome now appear to be part of the Ensign sales stock of vehicles and not as reported earlier.
Additionally, he shares a photo of Ensign's BCI Enterprise Tri-axle 406 LX19 EAG, which is adorned with a special wrap for Cadbury’s advertising campaign, previously active on promotional trips between London and Southend. It was also used on similar trips between Leeds and Bridlington
My thanks again to Mark for his regular reports and photos from Ensign. Also grateful to Adam Kalleher for the additional information on LX19 EAG

32208 and 32211 were withdrawn last year, so they may well be Ensign stock vehicles now. Having left FEC for Cornwall in 2016 they were converted to open-top in 2017.
