Ok, I did some more research on the Bus from Gopher and through everyones 
great help here.  Still can find all the info I need.

Typ 22
 Heizg Typ   2/255 APrute ~ S45 - What is this?
 Fargest-Nr. 226163526 - Someone said this was the VIN others say it is
 the chassis number.  If it is chassis number it starts with the 1?
