Since your frame style is already very similar to 971's, you might want to take a look at how they do the bumper mounts too. A sheet metal frame fits against the bumper backing with draw latches. The matching latch hook is riveted to the robot base. It's a pretty secure fit, and they're fairly easy to remove (just watch the clearances around the superstructure). We've done the bumpers as one piece like this for the past few seasons, but you could do them as halves, also. I'm not sure it would work well if you wanted each side to have its own bumper.
One thing to watch out for with these is that, the first time we did this, we made our hooks too weak, such that they gradually got bent up over time by the force from the draw latches and the draw latches stopped latching.
