I was re-arrangeing Rosie's pretty parts in the basement to make room for some new parts arriving today, and noticed when I stacked her bumpers that the front and rear are the same, just a different mounting bracket and bumperettes bolted on. Is that normal or did a PO replace the back bumper with a front?

Since the '62-'66's all had License plate mounting holes front and rear, both have the holes, used for the bracket on the rear and the actual plate on the front. '62-'63 Daytonas and Cruisers had the holes on the corners for the corner guards.
The '59-'61's do not have holes for the License Plate Bracket, on the rear bumper.StudeRich

My front bumper has a "dip" in the middle to clear the large grill. The back bumper has the same recess for no apparent reason (maybe to clear the gas cap - but wider LOL). Anyway, I just took a look at my 1/24th diecast, and it has the same "front" bumper on both ends too. Also I found some pictures in my "archives" that confirm it - the rear bodywork even forms to match the grill cut out in the bumper. (picture credit does not belong to me)
