Hope to see a few more pix when you can can post'em. And let us know what parts you are looking for. I have a few things that might fit. Also check out skoolie.net. A site dedicated to school bus conversions. Lots of info & sources there too.

If the inside hasn't been painted over it should say in there somewhere, perhaps above the windshield. It probably had it on the outside also at one time, before it was repainted.
