Default 1965 front bumper question

Hello guys,
I can buy a nice 1965 front bumper. But it’s looking different at lower section and it has only 2 bolts at the side. That confused me…
Im thinking it’s a Canadian 65 bumper …?
But the first two bolts at the side looking same drill like the US version .. less the third one where’s only a screw which holds a rubber at US version.. that is missing. Hm ..
I measured the distance between the frame mountings ..same as US Bonneville 39”

The Canadian version has only 2 side bolt holes but at another area ..
so I’m really confused what it is and if it will fits .. what is it ?
Question is if it fits to the Bonneville frame.. Canadian cars have a smaller frame as US Bonneville .. but this frame distance is same as my old rusty 65 Bonneville front bumper frame mounting

An early 65 bumper ? Different production within 65 ?

It’s very nice and I like to buy for my 1965 Bonneville convertible project …

Perhaps somebody with a 65 Parisienne can meassure the distance between the frame mountings so I can be sure it’s an US Bonneville bumper
Some pictures
Thx a lot Bjoern

Default 65 front bumper

And here she is ..only 2 bolt holes at side but it fits .. never saw before
It was from a 2+2 convertible
But looks at under site like it was for a Canadian Parisienne (different frame)
