Hi B,
I don't believe there are any markings on the bumpers, (front or rear), or the bumper guards, that identify them as original production line parts.
The grill trim I'm not sure about..... I don't think so, but maybe someone more familiar with 68-69 cars will know.
I think some of the early reproduction bumpers were very easy to spot because they were actually several pieces welded together, but I'm not sure how many of those are still around.
The very nice Paragon reproduction bumpers have their mark on them so you can spot those too.
Regards,
Alan

68 And I am guessing, 69 original front bumpers, had only an " L " shaped bracket that held the bumper guards. I think 70-72 front bumpers had to have the " Z " shaped bracket to hold the front grilles on. Lou.
