I removed these brackets (see pic below) from my 74 parts car front bumper. There were no such brackets on my 73 front bumper, but I supposed they could have been left off by a PO. The PET diagram doesn't show them... Are these brackets OE and, if so, were they on all 70-74 front bumpers? They look like stock pieces, fit perfectly between the bumper and the bumper mount bracket, and make sense to beef up the bumper a bit.

Likely the difference between models sold in the US and Canada/rest of the world. I think only the ones sold in the US had the bumperettes, due to the US 5 MPH bumper regulation:
