History Bumper identification

Can someone help ID these bumpers?
Would you like a close up picture of anything?

 

Are they the same bumper???
I was told 1 was front and 1 was rear but they sure look the same to me.

 

49-50 Merc?

 

That’s what I was hoping to hear. How can I tell which one is front and which is the rear?

 

Both fronts. See the notches for the grille center? The rear bumper has a smooth roundness and not a semi point in the center.

 

My collection is growing but I still can’t tell which is front and which is rear? Help

 

The rear ones would have a tag light in the top of the bumper guard

later kb

 

But most of theses don’t even have the bumper guards..?

 

As I said before, the fronts have a peak in the middle and the rear is a smooth curve all the way across.

 

Wait…are the bumpers the same for front & rear? and the bumper guards? Only difference being the center bar?

 

usually rear brackets are shorter than fronts.

 

He must have me on ignore. I’ve told him twice how to identify them.

 

Are you referring to the differences between the two different center spreader bars?

 

If there is an overider bar, and it has a notch in the back edge, it’s a front bumper. If no overider, you will have to look at the curve of the bare bumper.

 

Yeah, some of these have way more curves than they are supposed to but even when I just look at the straighter ones they all look kinda different and kinda the same.

 

Take a photo of each one from above and I’ll identify it for you.

 

Thanks boss! I’ll do that this afternoon if it’s not raining

 

first 2

 

Sorry, they were upside down. Here they are again

 

Front, and front.

 

Heck, even I know now how to tell!

 

Next 2

 

That’s a pair of rears.

 

and the last 3

 

Alchemy will most likely keep replying, suggest you look into site settings..

 

What do you mean?

 

Top to bottom, front front rear.

 

Yahtzee!

Thank you Alchemy! Maybe if I line up the fronts together and the rears together I’ll be able to see it.
