Yes, rare factory grill guard. These seem to have been not popular when new. Aftermarket or home made grill guards are more common.

I think Chuck of Chucks Trucks fame has those guards on both of his MHs; an F1 and Ranger. If not authentic, he wouldn’t have them.

I have a picture of those accessory front guards in my 1949 Ford "Fast Moving Parts" catalogue. Never seen one in real life.

I have one of these grill guards. It is new NOS and I have saved it for 30 years to use on my own truck but am now ready to turn it loose for someone else to enjoy. Send a private message to me.

In the late 80's I had both the grille guard and the fog lights NOS. 8C prefix on the fog lights as I recall. Sold both for fairly minimal money as I didn't have a truck.
