I think it is important to realise that back then in many places bus stops did not even have names, at least not names that were publically accessible and displayed on either maps or on the stops themselves.
Therefore in many cases there wasn't really a name to announce. This I imagine has partly to do with the common approach of having very high stop density, with many stops skipped on a given run. On some routes, stops were every 100m or so and often little more than a bus stop flag on the pavement.
In some places this is still the case today.
