Guards could be original-I would be more worried about the bumpers and the mirrors

Ah-another look and I think I see 1/4 windows

thats a reflection of a tree or power pole.
The guards look to have way to much of a bump in them around the lights

Yeh-I thought that at first also-but so many shadows-What do you reckon is happening then?

look like early gaurds with late gaurd headlight buckets welded/bogged in. as u mentioned the large hump around the headlight buckets.

stuff the gaurds, i would just baja it and put a nice set of glass gaurds and whale tale then sell it o/s !
