Thanks Don Turley,

Tonight I went through the Judging Guide and also the Service Bulletins. March of '28 they said the dealer can put a front bumper on the back if the customer wants to buy one. Section 15 as you note alludes to both kind of bumpers but it says "if equipped" and doesn't say who gets what.

The smoking gun is Section 16 Accessories. There are three photos of the rear of cars that must have a side mount as there is no rear spare. These photos show luggage racks as the subject. Two of the racks are mounted over split bumpers. The third photo is a Deluxe Phaeton with a full bumper.

I think I have my answer.
