This is an image of the early trials/test mounting. It was not how the design ended up. The extensions were indeed part of the early winch kit development, and because the test mounting protruded forward of the bumper.

The final mounting sat further back, and had a slat cut from the grill to accommodate this, as is visible in the early image posted on the thread, showing a jeep of the 24 Infantry Brigade HQ, 9th Infantry Division, with what looks like a Japanese officer in the back: possibly taking the surrender in British Borneo? Nice image.
