Factory bumpers for a 1975 Pantera Lusso from Europe

In the 1990's this car was imported from Europe.  Its VIN is THPNNE06973.  It was originally sold in Belgium by Claude Dubois to a European owner.  I am trying to figure out which front bumper it left the factory with.  It currently has the big rubber bumper that came on the L cars imported by Ford.  The bumper is mounted using shocks that bolt onto the chassis in what looks to be work done by the factory.  From the wheel well I can also see unused holes (when the headlights are up) in the car's sheetmetal that possibly could have been used for European bumperettes.  I am trying to figure out if the bumper seen below is factory or retrofitted when the car was brought here.  The car is registered as 1975 but its build date is 2/1/1974.
