I also am no expert on EXU TCs, but I have owned one since 1967 and it came
with bumpers and all the right EXU stuff. The TC Service Parts list, AKD
856, pages P.4, P.5 and P.6 lists all the bits required for the bumpers and
other parts to make the EXU different, including a longer crank ( like a
TD? ) to clear the front bumper.
So yes, the bumpers were factory fitted for the EXU TCs. If the pictures had
no bumpers, then they were not EXU TCs.

Not all the "Colonies". Just the United States.

Yes, with bumpers.
