The center section on the '74 should be solid.  The '71 and '72 GTV did
not have the license plate lights mounted above the plate, the lights
were in the bumper, hence the holes.

I've seen stainless plugs in some bumpers, it might be easier to find a
couple of those than it would be to find a new bumper.
