IP communication (ping) always requires two directions - sender to 
receipient, and then *answer* from receipient back to sender.

Your setup sounds like "OpenVPN clients to internal network should
work fine" (unless iptables block it, your setup is way too complicated
here for a start), but "the internal network does not know where to
send reply packets".

So you either need to add a NAT rule for outgoing packets towards
"internal network", or the hosts there need a route *back* for 
the OpenVPN clients "to the OpenVPN router".

As I said - get a textbook on TCP/IP + basic routing, before trying
complex setups with multiple servers, multiple layers of iptables, and
much added complexity that we're not going to debug for you.
