The holes on the back of the rubber bumper were for the top of little
brackets that fastened there and to which the plate was bolted at a lower
level. That level appears to have been selected to block airflow into
the oil cooler, should one be fitted. And that might be why so very few
rubber-bumper cars have the brackets. They are almost impossible to
refit with bumper on the car since clearance is limited.
