Nope, they came off the back as haven't touched the front bumper.  However,
I'm not original owner, so can't say this is correct.

Thanks

Are you sure you don't mean the front?  The rear has a pair of pretty-well 
straight cast irons that bolt to the chassis rails and have a threaded end 
sticking out through the rear valance.  Pressed 'springs' bolt to that, then

the bumper bolts to the ends of that with four bolts, or two bolts (outer) 
and two overriders (inner).  There are shaped pieces that fit between the 
curved back of the bumper and the flat springs.

It's the front that has lashing eyes (not towing eyes) on the angled bumper 
irons, and doughnuts (and 'U' brackets) between the outer ends of the bumper

and the front wings.  This also has curved pieces between the back of the 
bumper and the irons.
