Dan, are you saying that if a car has front bumper guards on it, that it MUST have rear bumper guards with cushions?
That was the theory. I don't believe that there was a separate way of calling out the rear bumper guard cushions -- they were only triggered by the ordering of the fronts.

You're right. I got my bumber guards as part of the Body Protection Group, as shown on the attached dealer invoice.

Here's my summary: 70 Challenger: The rear had a standard down-hanging chrome guard, with no rubber pad. The only bumper guard option offered was the M85 package, which added rubber pads to the standard chrome rears, and also got you the chrome front guards with rubber pads. Neither front chrome guards w/pads, nor the added rear pads were available separately. A05 Protection Group included the M85 package, as well as vinyl bodyside moldings and door edge protectors. 71 Challenger: The M85 package was again offered. NO A05 package offered. M85 was N/A with either the front or rear colored bumpers. As for the M81 shown on the broadcast sheet, it applied to other car lines, but not Challenger. Disclaimer: Info above taken from the factory coding guide that I have, dated October 69. Your results may vary...

A little off topic, but was a rear rubber insert available on a A22 rubber bumper 70 Barracuda/Gran Coupe/`Cuda rear by any chance too ?
For the '70 Barracuda line: I find NO reference to the rubber inserts Front or Rear existing (rubber inserts became part of the '71 M85 Barracuda OPTION)
M81 was NOT AVAILABLE on 'Cuda (BS) because of the STANDARD "Fog Lights" or with "A21"/"A22".

I always assumed my car had them because it was an SE, I've had it since 1978. But there are no M8x codes on the broadcast sheet. It's first 8 years were rough, hit in front and rear, so it must have gotten a transplant front bumper before I got it. That's one expensive part I don't need now.
Is your car a late/Sept-early/Oct car with a broadcast sheet printed on a 1969 "E" series form? If it is you need to look in the boxes that would be in the correct position for the '70 codes.
All '70 Challenger have M83 for the rear bumper guards that were STANDARD.

That is weird that it still shows E for Extra on a GC and Barracuda, you would have thought they would put N/A under each model.
