Is the barn-door referring to the rear hatch door or the sliding/side door?

Does "barndoor bus" not refer to the old pre 55 busses with the big engine lid?

Yes, the barndoors are the earlier ones with the big rear engine lid, they also dont have the air vents in the roof at the front

When you take a car out of the country, you should have a country of origin badge on the back, this is international law,
so the locals can see that this guy don't know where his going.......

What year model is the bus? Is it a walk-through model? The drivers seat should slide forward, and if it is the double passenger seat, it should tilt forward towards the dash and clip out ?

On a walkthru bus just lift the seat slider locking lever and slide them forward until they come off the rails. Sometimes seats get stuck on the rails and need a bit of persuasion to slide.

On bench seat buses, the driver's seat is removed in the same way; on the passenger seat you need to lift the seat base and then push downwards on the seat back to release it from the clips holding it in place, then the whole seat just lifts out.

Maybe this is a stupid question, maybe not but here goes anyway:

Can one get offroad tyres, like an all terrain knobby like wheel in 14" ? If so, what are they called and where ?

I want some grippy tyres for my Bus. 8)
