Viktor had already helped me fix the "unknown" issue.

Here is an example Received header  for a domain with a dedicated IP of 
74.63.3.132  :)
Received:       from www.alwaysbuywholesale.com (www.alwaysbuywholesale.com 
[74.63.3.132]) by vps.velvetpixel.net

The mismatch issue I mentioned I am still trying to solve is:

server
vps.velvetpixel.net
74.63.2.190

telnet 74.63.2.190 smtp
Trying 74.63.2.190...
Connected to vps.velvetpixel.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 vps.velvetpixel.net ESMTP Postfix   <-- this is s match!!!

virtual host with dedicated IP
alwaysbuywholesale.com
74.63.3.132

telnet 74.63.3.132 smtp
Trying 74.63.3.132...
Connected to alwaysbuywholesale.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 vps.velvetpixel.net ESMTP Postfix  <--This is not a match :(

How do I change the SMTP banner for just the vhost dedicated IP 74.63.3.132 to 
220 www.alwaysbuywholesale.com ESMTP Postfix   and still keep the correct 
banner of 220 vps.velvetpixel.net ESMTP Postfix for 74.63.2.190?

I can update my PTR for 74.63.3.132 so it is www.alwaysbuywholesale.com instead 
of alwaysbuywholesale.com but how do I change the banner for that dedicated IP 
so it then matches www.alwaysbuywholesale.com?
