The split rear bumpers, ("bumperettes"), were a Canadian thing. They look terrific! Best to you in your search!

You might also call Bob Bergstadt. He sold his repo parts business and is now selling only good used T parts, and he has as huge collection of them.
His new phone number is 815-633-7244.

Those bumper irons/bars are for a Model A. The bumper brackets, however, appear to be for a Model T.

The model T bumpers do not have the bolts through the eyes on the ends of the bar sections.

There are two different length rear bumper brackets for 26-27. The coupe/roadster use a longer rear bumper bracket than the sedan/touring due to the bottom of the spare tire sticking out further on the coupe/roadster.
