On the bit that looks like an aircon unit? Yes I think so. Similar positioning to the old strobes and to red and blues on an ambulance.

A bit different from the NT Mercs. Only just noticed then that they don't have the big wing/spoiler on the back like ours do. Must say i'm not a fan of the livery scheme though. Needs a bit more, maybe on the windows or something. Just too much blank space. If you've seen an NT Merc you'll know what i'm talking about.
There is usually a mercedes symbol on the back too where the black plastic bit is where it meets the rear windows. Think someone must've snapped it off.
