Bus Depot says theirs is a Bosch (http://www.busdepot.com/025906265a).
Ken's listing doesn't give a brand (
https://www.vanagain.com/shop/1-9L-oxygen-sensor/).

I did find where I had the oxygen sensor replaced - 19 years ago. The
catalytic converter was also replaced then. The mileage was about 150,000;
that was 137,000 miles ago. I wonder if it's time to replace the catalytic
converter too?
