The guy I mentioned in the original post put his on a late '74 and while he
did say they took some fitting, didn't bugger up the finish and they do look
great. He installed his with a very fine rubber bead molding of some kind
between the car and bumper. I'll find out what he used.

Mike (Drew),
What am I missing here? Why can't these bumpers be used with a body mounted
turn signal?

Mike,
Given that your front turn signals are body-mounted, these front bumpers
won't work unless you either significantly modify them and have them
rechromed, or significantly modify the body.
Hall and Byars sell reproduction metal bumperettes for L-Model cars that fit
and work perfectly and are substantially cheaper. They used to offer them
powdercoated black or chrome, but I don't know what they have for shiny
finish now. Here are the black ones:

Call Wilkinson today since he is open and ask if he has chrome Euro front
bumpers. Then call hall and Byars next week and find out what your options
are, and let us know.
Thanks!
