Got some photos of 418 today, and as an added bonus, I've included the former 108 AOA as a comparison.

And here's what 108 looked like last year

Having also seen Bus 418 today, the AOA on 418 looks like it was made for the bus (you could be mistaken for it being a Sydney bus). While viewing 108's ACTEWAGL AOA, it looks like patches just stuck on.
They are all applied the same way Julian, they are all just patches stuck on. They come in numerous rolls and are just lined up and stuck on. Generally, they are made for the bus type they are going on to ensure they are long enough.
I suppose buses these days are made so ads look good on the bus & can be attached/removed without extra cost. While back in the PR3 days, they were designed to look good on the bricks.
