Smile factory grill

Hello,
Was looking on craigslist for ford pick up trucks for sale.This one caught my eye for the grill. Was this a factory grill or was this modified for a certain purpose? On both side of the grill and above the turn signals the grill is curved or notched out.Never seen this before and thought there might be a reason. Thanks, greyhound

Not sure what the cut-out is for either, but being as there is one on ebay right now with same cut-outs, I'd have to say it's factory?

1961/66 F100/700 is the same. The mounting brackets are either 1961/64 F100/700; 1965/66 F350/700 or 1965/66 F100/250.
