The early 67 GMAC invoices note that the cars were shipped short the bumper guards.

Correct. My car was one of those, hence their installation in the "wrong" position. From my understanding the selling dealer installed them after receiving them from GM.

Things like this still happen to this day due to issues with various vendors, logistics etc.

I don't know that they are wrong. My bumper has holes in those positions too, but the tail panel holes line up with the locations closer to the center. Is it possible engineering decided to move them after initial production ? My bumper is a replacement, over the counter part, and why have 2 different hole locations ??
