I can't remember which was originally on my 72, but I bought another early rear bumper which included a bracket, and it is different. (see pics) The narrow-set one fits the holes in my license plate so I'll be using that one, but I was just wondering what is the story with the other?

It seems like there are no holes in European plates? That they mount using a frame. It makes sense that the bracket that holds the frame would be wider, though. Do those frames just hinge up and you could take anyone's license plate?!
