yes - that's a '80-'82 front bumper indeed. your '77, as well as any other rubber bumpered cars, can interchange front and rear bumpers very easily. at least i am *almost* 100% positive.... chrome bumpered cars are another story, though.
so to answer your question, your '77 can fit any bumpers, front AND rear, from any years '74-'82.

The black car has an aftermarket style '80-'82 front cover that is designed to fit '75-'79 cars. In addition the owner of the black car modified the area between the headlights to look like '73-74 thus eliminating the kicked up are between the headlights and making the seam straight.
Stock '80-'82 front covers will not fit '75-'79 without modifications because the front fenders are differnet (the cover extends back to the wheel opening).
Rear bumper covers are interchangable between '75-'82, however the tail light mountings are different on '80-'82 and when mounting on '75-'79 cars, modifications to the tail light brackets and rear reinforcement are required.

However, it appears the black car is a '74, not a modified '77, judging by the badging.
Here's another '74 with the later bumpers and nose emblem:
