Default Chrome Bumper Differences?

Can anyone tell me with absolute certainty if there are more than 1 chrome bumpers for the 2015 F150 or is there just one? In the pics below, the platinum has a chrome bumper with bumper caps...the other pics shows an F150 with a chrome bumper no caps...are they the same exact bumper minus the bumper end caps? In other words the truck with just the chrome bumper, can the bumper caps be added? Thanks in advance.

Two completely different bumpers. The end cap bumper has mounting holes beneath the caps to be able to replace them. The XLT chrome bumper is one solid piece rather than three.

Edit: you can also get the end cap bumper and pair it with chrome end caps which would make it look essentially like the XLT bumper. But no, end caps cannot be added to the XLT chrome bumper.

This is actually on my to-do list of upgrades, I want a chrome bumper and then paint-to-match end caps, but first I'll have to purchase the new bumper and the end caps separately and have them painted since I have an XLT. You can usually find these end caps on ebay but they're almost always scratched so better to just get buy them primed and just take them to get painted.

As said above they are 2 different bumpers, you can find on ebay for reasonalble cost. I will warn you the PITA is switching all the plastics on the bumper, there are 2 clips you WILL break. Also grille is a PITA, shutters are a pain, just take you time. I have an XLT and i am not a fan of chrome. This is what i did, about 2k for parts and paint, rear bumper also color matched. Good luck!
