Actually, no.   There are two styles of flat-edge bumpers (wrap and 
non-wrap, if you like), but only one style of round edge bumpers (not counting the 
European L-model bumpers).   They are listed specifically as such in the De 
Tomaso parts book--and on the 'bumpers' page in the De Tomaso registry. :>)

One style of flat-edge bumper was apparently used only on European cars 
(but which one?   The wrap, or non-wrap style?   I don't remember).

The Ford parts book only lists two styles (not bothering with the European 
Pre-L, or European L styles), and says that the changeover happened with 
chassis #2840.
