It looks like the remains of a specific commercial paint job from long ago. As rough as the door is, I personally would expect to be disappointed by what you uncover. If you have the time, stop stripping and locate previous owners of the bus to see if it was painted for a particular company's livery. Or, you can scan early sign bus pictures to see if it matches a known purchase. Several have been uncovered with a nice bonus that the bus is worth far more than previously thought.
