What if the taxi and PH are both Mercedes "Vito"s?

You have a good point. There is of course a slight difference:
the taxi will have a small square white plate at the bottom of
the back doors while the minicab will have yellow stickers on the
windscreens.
I've been told by a taxi driver that the famous taxi vehicle is
unpleasant and liable to catch fire, and that consequently many
taxi drivers are eager to have a different vehicle. That they have
chosen the same vehicle many minicab drivers use is something
that never seems to arouse comment.
