USA and Canada market. For 1974, USA models got large safety bumpers to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards regulation 215(b). The mandate that created the "park-bench" bumpers were not about safety, but part of the Cost Saving Act. The idea was to reduce the cost of repair of minor accidents (below 5 mph) and so benefit the consumer. For more details, see FMVSS 215.

Retrofitting Worldwide Bumpers
You will need make up new custom brackets to mount the bumpers.
SEDAN REAR: When fitting the smaller bumpers there's two holes, from where the 5mph bumper shocks/brackets mount. And the new bumper covers the top half of them. So a new beaver panel is not really needed.
COUPE REAR: A new beaver plate should be fabricated.
You make a mesh panel:
FRONT:
NOTE: 1200 bumpers don't quite fit the B210. They need to be bent a little bit and are narrower.
Barracuda sells B210 bumper in steel about $300
The wide-cutout bumper has just happens to line up perfectly the with lower valence on a North America B210, but the JDM bumper has a smaller plate cut-out, about the size of a US license plate. the JDM bumper makes for a cleaner install, but the wide-cutout bumper may be cheaper and easier to obtain out of Australia.
