the "dimples" that are stamped into the suburban rear bumper, are there because the bumper stamping is the same as the front.

correct!
I am surprised that the aftermarket bumper people haven't caught on to this....
maybe their machine stamps the dimple and hole at the same time?
if not it seems like it would be an easy way for them to use their front bumper stamping, with different holes, marketed for the rear of a sub...
