I'm afraid I can't help with regard to the existence of an intermediate blind for the short workings, but I would think it is quite possible - there were only two or three of those short journeys per day; and, given that the route between Gloucester and Lydney was fairly direct, an intermediate points blind was probably not really necessary.
The reference to Lydney (Newerne) on the destination blind might help to date the photo. The 1964 timetable makes no reference to Newerne - the journeys terminated at the bus station. However, looking at Google Maps, Newerne Street appears to be in the centre of Lydney, so possibly that was the main stopping point prior to the opening of the bus station? According to Richard Waters' website (http://glos-buses.mysite.wanadoo- members.co.uk/), service 13 had been renumbered 73 by June 1967. The vehicle in your photo, 803BWO seems to have been allocated to Lydney depot for most of the period from 1961 to 1967.
