I believe the bumper to which you are referring has been painted silver. Some collectors, including my friend John Low, prefer to paint the bumper and other front hardwate silver. This was frequently done on fire trucks. While fire trucks are often in the most well-preserved condition, they are not necessarily in the "most original" condition. May be splitting hairs.
