Hello Ron,
You definitely have the signature "Hiroshige" here, but I don't see the signature of Kuniyoshi anywhere. So, if all three of these panels go together to form one image, Kuniyoshi probably was not a collaborator.
It's hard to tell from the Picasa gallery whether these fit together because there is only one full shot of a print. But it looks like parts of a triptych.
You also have the date seal of the Year of the Monkey, ninth month, which was in 1860. I think that is the proof that the prints were designed by Hiroshige II (the main student of Ando Hiroshige) because Hiroshige I died in 1858, before the date of publication.
