I think the difference is in the method of attachment to the bumper irons, one is concealed and the other isn't. Which means that the shape of the irons is slightly different. You can get away with it, as long as you swap the irons with the bumper, the end result will be the same.
Of course, getting early 1850 (Dolomite, in fact, pre 1850 badging) bumper irons might be quite a task! Which is why Rimmers are selling the bumpers cheap!
