Hi Martin, I can't quite tell from the photo, and as others have said, the rubber strip obscures the view. Is it a possibility that it is a clubman front bumper with that rubber strip added? I'll look forward to seeing your pup's new paint! Best, MSH p.s. if it is a clubman front bumper, some say they offer slightly better strength against very minor bumps, so it may be worth saving?

My Pickup came from CA so this may be why. 
Thanks Spitz!

Thanks for the comments, I'll take the bumper off today & see if I can remove the rubber strip.

It almost looks like the rubber strip from a Canadian bumper stuck onto a standard bumper.

I don't know what the bumper is, but the rubber strip could have been added to a stock bumper, it looks added to me. What I would do is remove the bumper, then remove the rubber strip and see what the bumper looks like. I personally would put a stock Mini front bumper on it without the rubber strip.

I'm trying to identify this front bumper on my pickup, having the body resprayed soon but I'd like to put a new bumper on.
This one's got dings & it is twisted.
Talked to sales with our host but they are not too sure it ever came off a Mini. The black rubber strip on the lower half of the bumper is not standard they think. 1971 Mini.
Thanks, M.
