Same with us...at one of our inspections this was the flow of our bumper checking:

1) we show up with bumpers set for blue
2) he tells us to put the red bumpers on the scale
3) we explain that they are the same bumpers, just flipped differently
4) we put our bumpers (still in blue mode) on the scale
5) he tells us he wanteds to weigh the red ones, not the blue ones
6) we have to change them to red to get weighed
7) we take bumpers off
8) he tells us we need to now weigh the blue bumpers......
9) as we swich them over, he still doesnt understand that they are the same bumpers......
