Jim, for what it's worth, I just took a quick measurement on my '60 TR3.
At the top of the bumper, from edge of bumper to sheet metal, just a
hair shy of 2 1/4". At midpoint (vertically) 1 7/8" (because fo the
curve in the sheet metal). The bottom is a little hard to measure
because the bumper/bracket hangs down just lower than the sheet metal,
but it's right at 2 1/4" like the top.
You can see the rear of the car in a couple photos at:

Hope this might help in some way,
Ray
