gmc/chevy front bumpers same?

Like most of you, I can look at these trucks all day. What I've just noticed is that some of the GMC front bumpers appear to have slight depressions where the front turn signals are. I've got a 69 gmc (in pieces) and I checked my bumper--no difference from my 70 chevy. No catalog mentions any difference.

My imagination or is there a difference?

The GMC bumpers I've seen have the scallops out of them for light clearance, and the Chevy ones obviously don't.

67-68 GMC are the same as Chevy, 69-72 have the indentations for the turn signal lights.
