Bus Blinds - or what you call them?

The brown blinds that accordion down in roughly one inch sections, behind the driver, and for the left front window. What do you call them please. In searching bus blinds, I get the destination indicators i.e, a long list of destinations. Need to know what to search for please.

My bus number (if any): RCL2259

Night blinds would be slightly more accurate as they were there to be used when the interior lights were on to minimise the reflection that might hinder the drivers vision.

Careful Robert, that isn't an RM blind, looks like a later DMS or SM blind. Talk to Rob Duker, he might be able to help.
