It would be nice to run this section of the photo through that fancy photo enhancing software I see on those cop shows all the time. It would be clear as a bell about what is weird about the front of that bus... |

Looks like the edge of the wide open door on the next bus past it to me.

But our view of something (that I don't think is a door) is being blocked from view by the plaid shirt guys' head. It's a bullet bus... so probably not part of a US spec bumper.

Boojen stamping!
Looks like a camperized Deluxe. Wonder if they did it or it was official. I love the house and property and bus and all girls as kids, whoa. |

I think you were very close to getting it right. Look at every bus in the row up to that point, then look at every bus after that point...
What you are seeing there is a rack holder to support the bumper while mounting it. It looks to may have some padding to rest on the nose so it doesn't get pushed too far in. Look below the odd looking area and you can see a guy pushing or resting his hand on a pole that looks to be holding up a stand for bumper mounting. |

That's a neat shot. Looks like they have ethel lead so that is an old pic. The bus on the right could be mine.
