This original chrome bumper has 2 extra mounting holes(on either side of license plate area)in addition to the 4 standard mounting points. We're bumperettes an option on barracuda models like dodge offered for Challenger?

EDIT - The parts books do not appear to have a bolt from behind but I was wrong. After looking at the pictures of the NOS bumperettes on the Blue star performance site, It does appear to have a bolt from behind.

I think that somebody put that one in there.

My 1970 has those 2 holes too and I always thought they were the front bumperettes.

Thank you EW1BH27 for politely pointing me to look again.

I was wrong and corrected my earlier post. My apologies.

Here is a picture of the back of the NOS bumperette.
