On Barracudas the bumpers did not trigger any blackout, as the bumper did not have any black like the Challengers did. My 70 FK5 Barracuda had the front rubber bumper and chrome racing mirrors, argent grille and no tail panel chrome, and no tail panel blackout (body color). I also had a FE5 70 Cuda 340 with the Front/rear rubber bumpers and body colored mirrors, but it was a Cuda, so it had the tail panel blackout and trim.




Front rubber bumper only would not trigger any blackout (as the blackout would be only on the rear anyway)

Front/rear rubber bumpers definitely triggered rear blackout with the tail trim and I have seen many A22 '70 and '71 Barracudas so equipped.

Now as to how consistently Chrysler applied it - that's another issue entirely!
