Front bumper identification help

Anyone know who makes this Yellowbird-style bumper? I've looked at all the usual suspects (Getty, RUF, GT Racing, etc) but none seem to match exactly. Things that I noticed were the lower spoiler (not all have this), the way the side flares out near the front tire where the accordions usually sit, and lastly the overall slope of the bumper where the smile usually is. The distance from the hood to the vertical part of the bumper seems shorter and more sloped than the other versions, if that makes sense. Thoughts?

Just a guess, but it COULD be an original RUF bumper/valance for turbo (wide body) cars. If you go to the RUF website, they only show the narrow body bumpers, so it is hard to compare directly. The one you show here is definitely a wide body application. Also, because it has an indentation for front license plates, in European size, it leads me to think it is a European maker. But, again, this is pure speculation on my part. You would have to get the RUF people to send you a photo of their wide body number, or perhaps someone here will post a photo of their own.
