Quinton. Many of the 25xx (JOJ5xx) Guy buses were based there.

Is this the Finchley Rd Kingstanding terminus?
You could be right. That’s style of social housing was common in Kingstanding, so it could be the junction of Finchley Road and Hornsey Road.
Same style as these houses on Kingstanding Road (near Cranborne Road), but not sure if this is the position of the photo. (To be able to say this was the position, the dual carriageway would have to have been different when the photo was taken.)

I Think you are correct. This is the Finchley Road/Hornsley Rd Junction. On the original neg, the road sign is definitely LEY Rd.

Route 64 now runs from Nechells to Peddimore and Minworth. The route passes through Erdington, The Fort, and Castle Vale.
Maybe Erdington
I think this is the Yenton. There was a bank on the corner of Sutton Road and Broardfield Road, now a pub called the Verdo Lounge

That IS the blackout lighting. Note in the lower picture of the earlier design some of the shields pointed towards the aisle, where the conductor could see his ticket machine. I don't think the newer style was taken up to any large degree.
