I saw this Bronco for sale and the Grille caught my eye. It’s not quite a Factory grille and it’s not quite the aftermarket Vintage heritage grille. Any ideas on what this is?

No- the IAG has 6 rows and the OP pics show 4 rows

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's a one-off modified Black Diamond grille with extra slots cut into it and painted white. I don't know if anyone ever mass produced these or not but not that I've seen.

Yeah, the spacing of the slots are the same, except for the extra ones on the ends, good catch.

Actually I think the extra slots on the ends are photo shopped. Bottom left doesn't look right. If you zoom in somethings off..

Edit: OK maybe not. I see it's on a dealer site in inventory. Still off though.

Ok new thought is that they are either decals, or painted on.

You and LoCoBro have shown this 9 slot grill is actually the 7 slot grill with fake slots added on each end … Busted

Thank you all for your help! I’m going to assume it’s a modified base or BD grille. I’ve never seen one like that and I did a bunch of googling also and couldn’t find anything. It’s so peculiar lol

I'm thinking @GI_Jo_Nathan guess that they might be stickers is correct, to drill out those slots perfect enough would more than most would want to undertake. I do wish Ford would have extended out the slots to cover closer to the headlights like the IAG and this one tried to mimic from the EB.

I would think those stickers also. the background color is different, along with the vertical spacing in between. Cutting those out would take ALOT of work and would probably never look right because of all the compound curves.! stickers are easy. Call the sale person :p solve our problem.
