I found these at a flea market and am curious about their background. Can anyone tell me something about them?

Your bus is from Spain by Paya. It says that it's the bus going from Burgos to Carrion. Here's some information about it.
It's a tin litho collectible toy double decker bus by Paya of Spain.
Paya was founded in 1902 by Rafael Paya, the local smith. Four years later Rafael's sons Pascual, Emilio and Vincente built the first toy factory in Spain and by the 1920s Paya's toys were considered the equal of then great and famous toy makers. Not only was Paya quality the considered equal to the best at that time, Paya's colors and imprints were graphically more interesting, precise and bolder. In the late 80's and early 90's Paya remade all of the classic old litho tinplate toys on a very limited basis. The production of each was limited to 5,000 (or less) world-wide.
Thank you very much, sorry only saw your post just now. Do you know how i could find out if they are original? I've seen some pictures of the remakes but there are some small differences
Btw i found out that the replica's have a number and these don't have that. Also my bus has a spare wheel under the ladder on top of the bus, which the replica doesn't seem to have.
