I don't know if the bumpers appears in 73 or 74, depends on manufacture date I think -- my 280SE had small ones, and I don't think MB ever put the big ones on, just dropped the model by the time they were required. Mine was manufactured in April, I think anything manufatured after August 1st (the semi-official "introduction" date for cars in the US) had to be collision resistant.
The were definitely ugly, but the previous ones were pretty non-functional.
