I found 19 front brake cylinder on car and I suppose there should be 22

is it correct that all BDs have same 22 as on picture on front brakes ?

Verrrry nice indeed ! even the pinstriping is still visible in some places.
When you register this in Czech Republic, please make sure to advice the office about the importance of having original papers with bus, so you can keep the historical og title, or at least make good copies or scans if they need to be destroyed.

From my understanding, Austrian delivered Barndoors should have a red brake light lens ( whereas other countries could have amber/orange).
Good to know you are keeping the original title with the bus. I think those early titles, issued by Porsche Salzburg are really nice documents to have, especially since they tell the complete owners and registration history.
