Large park-bench bumpers were optional on Australia and Japan-market B310s. As usual, North America required the large bumpers while other countries got a choice, including still-boxy but lighter bumpers and simple full-chrome versions.

One-piece VS three-piece Bumpers
- One-piece bumper bar is fashioned of a single piece of steel. It may or may not have rubber covers over the ends
- Three piece bumper consists a larger channel-shaped steel piece, and REQUIRED rubber end-covers. The channel piece is straight with no curved end -- only the rubber curves aroud the side of the car
The JDM/AUS three-piece bumper is a shock-aborsber design which appears to be lifted from the 1975 USA B210 5-mph bumper design (resistant to body damage in low-speed collision).
One-piece bumper: steel stamping, chrome plated
