I don't understand the difficulty people are having with this question. I clearly stated that the question did not involve extending outside the allowed NORMAL CONFIGURATION (28" x 38"). And the definition of FRAME PERIMETER IS CLEAR:

(emphasis mine) I also stated that the protruding bolt heads are below the bumper zone (again, well within the 28" x 38" requirement) so no, the bolt heads do not define the FRAME PERIMETER. I have been through inspection, and understand clearly how size requirements are tested.
I do know that in the past this allowance has been made and wondered if it would be again.
