This is a known, but still unresolved issue:

CSCed71022
Internally found minor defect: Assigned (A)
SNMP: MLP bundle ifType does not show as pppMultilinkBundle(108)

Cisco IOS reports PPP Multilink Bundle interfaces in the SNMP Interface
MIB
(IF-MIB) as ifType ppp(23), rather than ifType pppMultilinkBundle(108).
There is no workaround.

Feel free to open a TAC case and have the engineer link your case to it.

Thanks,
