same but small difference.
the KG has the lower corner trimmed at a 45º angle to clear the front fender, the type 3 bumper is not trimmed. using a type 3 bumper on KG may hit the fenders, KG on type 3 is fine.
type 3 have a pocket in the fender for clearance so they don't need have the trimmed type bumper.

I never had that problem of hitting the guards.
maybe I had my brackets out at full extention?

I am not sure if they are exact but they look the same to me. And Vlad, mine do not have any angle on the lower edge to clear the guards.

I know a few people on the samba had problem hitting the body when using on KG, some not. I had one of these KG bumpers at home and did a little research on them at the time.
The current SS KG aftermarket bumpers are angled like mentioned.
