Default OEM Bumper dilema

Posted this yesterday, but no definitive answer/conclusion has been reached. Following a minor accident, my body shop has gone ahead and ordered all of the necessary parts. The bumper that they have is primed and ready to go to paint, however I noticed that the indentation in the front of bumper (which would seemingly hold a euro tag) does not have the "clips" or depth to accomodate the "front plate" filler piece.

There is an indentation, but no apparent way to make it "flush"? Perhaps the there are perferated areas that need to be punched out?
Do I have the wrong bumper...knock off?!

Anyone know? Thanks.

Can you take a pic for us? Could it be a Euro S4 bumper?

Default It is most likely a knock off, I had a body shop order me a GTI bumper once

and the rub strips were part of the bumper and not removable like on an OEM bumper

The thing is, there are OEM stamps/part #'s visible on it. I'll try and get the #. Euro S4 perhaps?
