Are you sure that you are dealing with a CRC algorithm? ISO 8073 TP4 
uses an arithmetic checksum (Fletcher).

If you are using genuine CRC32 then

http://www.tty1.net/pycrc/

is a good reference for all the different variations. It will generate 
'C' code for you but still a good baseline reference. I've used it 
successfully for CRC implementations (some quite oddball in the aviation 
sector).
