If your original bumper has the alu step plate then yes, but not if you have the bumper like the one that broke on Dawid Taljaards Patrol with the factory welded extension on recovery point.
The holes will probably be the same but it doesn't extend far enough to clear that extension on recovery point. If you make the bracket longer it might work.
My new bumper is closer to body than original and doesn't extend that far out, thus improving departure angle!

I sent the picture to you!
Can't wait to see what you and Ricster come up with, because everybody has their own idea of what looks good.
I finished painting my bumper this weekend and is now sitting very nice on the Patrol!
