Pre-facelift front end: This is not the '93-'95 JDM front end... it's the 6/91-5/93. The front bumper is shared with Corolla saloons and estates sold in Europe from '92-'97 and shared with E10 Corollas sold in Australia from '94-'99. As it was so widely used, it easily accepted number plates of any size. E10s sold in EU countries had the wing-mounted (fender) side turn signal repeaters, while those that borrowed from Japan had the repeaters integrated into the parking light, as many Japanese cars have. Headlights appear the same as E-code ones (sans E-code lens markings!), differing only slightly in light distribution within the beam pattern (in RHD versions that is). The "C" grille was used on all 9/91-'01 E10 Corolla vans and so-called business wagons (vans with more trim), but without the hint of chrome trim that the saloons have. Other countries used a modified version of it that had a Toyota "T" emblem instead of a Corolla emblem.
Facelift front end: This was the '93-'95 JDM front end (the E11 saloons replaced the E10 saloon range in mid-'95). Front bumper is found on all E10 vans made from the '93 facelift until their demise in 2001. The bottom picture is the saloon grille, while the top is the one used on wagons, and all European hatchbacks built 5/95-5/97. Said hatchbacks (Europe's facelift) also used a similar looking bumper to this, but still markedly different.
Sprinter Van/Business Wagon: Differs from facelifted Corolla vans and business wagons only by the grille and the Sprinter emblem on the cargo hatch. There were never any E10 Sprinter Touring Wagons. Instead, the Sprinter Carib skipped a generation. The E9 (AE92/AE95) Sprinter Carib (known in North America as the Corolla All-Trac estate) was built through 1995, then went directly to the E11 (AE111/AE114/AE115). By the way, the distinction between the vans/business wagons and the Touring Wagons was simple: the former had a solid rear axle located by archaic but effective leaf springs, while the latter sported the same three-link Chapman strut arrangement underpinning all other Corollas and numerous other Toyota models.
FX, but not SE Limited: Contrary to popular belief (and nomenclature), SE Limited saloons still came with the same front end as lesser Corolla saloons. This bumper only came in Japan on the AE101 FX SJ and FX GT from 5/92-5/95, but was standard fare on all EU 3-door and 5-door hatchbacks built in the same time period (liftbacks notwithstanding... they used the 5/91-5/93 Sprinter front end. Also, the crystal headlights and corner lights never came on any Corolla saloons or hatchback. They came with the same standard headlights as all other Corollas. A few notes on that further down.
(Nothing to add to Sprinter saloons)
2nd Facelift Touring Wagon: Foglights notwithstanding, this front end came on ALL Corolla Touring Wagons built 5/97-8/00. Before the second facelift, even BZ-Touring models had the front end in the picture second from the top. However, the facelifted BZ-Touring WAS the only model to ever come with the coveted black housing crystal headlights. Lesser models had the chrome version. Finally... what makes a Touring Wagon a Touring Wagon? Quite simple, really: it says Touring on the cargo hatch, and came in three basic trim levels: L-Touring, G-Touring, and BZ-Touring.
And beyond that, I have nothing more to add.

It's a shame that bumpers cost so much to ship or I'd offer to send you one from here in NZ. There's about 3 Levins and 4 Truenos at my local junkyard right now (not including actual wreckers or private sellers) but I got a quote to send a bumper overseas a while ago and it was going to cost something like $900 NZD (€480) just in shipping alone . I'll keep my fingers crossed that one pops up for you in Ireland

I'm glad you didn't take offence to that comment . Kind of has a very slight Audi R8 look to it too.
