Mystery Bumper Bars. They are the correct shape for 1936 but?

My 36 Ford bumpers have the curved ends that are 36 Ford only. 33,34 and 35 Ford bumpers are more straight up and down.

My bumper is about 60-1/2" long and hole spacing is 25-1/2" apart.

No grooves would indicate modified or custom design.

1933, 1934, 1935 and 1936 Ford Bumpers are all different.
The 1933 and 1934 Bumpers have a single strip along the centre.
Difference is the position of the inner holes that attach it to the Irons.
The 1935 and 1936 Ford Bumpers have two strips down the centre.
Main difference is the ends - see photo 1936 Left, 1935 Right
