After 2 years, KMB placed more orders for 2-axle Leyland Olympian, but 9.5-metre version was chosen, and Alexander R-type body was selected. During 1983-85, a total of 120 Leyland Olympians of this variant were intorduced.

These 120 buses could be divided into 4 batches, and 4 versions of radiator bonnet were used respectively. However, many of them were replaced by a newer version of radiator for easy maintenance. Besides, modifications on body specifications were noted for these 4 batches. For examples, The windows of BL4-23 (First Batch) were divided into upper and lower portions. While starting from BL24-53 (Second Batch) and later batches, full-depth sliding side windows were installed. BL54-93 (Third Batch) were equipped with larger frontal destination display panels. In the last batch, BL94-123, the buses were fitted with ventilation system. Another special feature was found on BL121-123, which was the lowered side detination display.

Photographs of BLs are available, and are classified by the four batches mentioned above (also the 3 ECW demonstrators).
