To me, that's nothing but BS... This car might have some damage on the rear; it doesn't have to be great damage, but enough to justify a bumper replacement. Or the owner wanted it to look like a GTS...
+1 ... my ex - '88 S4 arrived from Tokyo with a GTS rear cover - and not so much as a scratch or wrinkle on the mounts/supports underneath: I concluded that it was a cosmetic update of choice .... or perhaps the most trivial of accidents.

Hmmm, what car salesman would provide a 'concours' GTS A$$ . . . 'fee free'???

I recall the original listing when Low Miler bought this car, the seller admitted he had been rear ended and insurance paid for the GTS bumper because S4 bumpers were NLA. He said the bumper and cover were damaged and he wan't too happy about getting a GTS bumper. He also said that he had tracked the car for a few years and had removed the harness but the mounts were still in the car.

Low miler claimed GTS rear bumber was option in '91 MY yet never came up option code for it. There isn't any unknown codes in build sticker pic either. My bet is bumper was changed for what ever reason.
You have got to be ****t...ing me! GTS bumper as an optioin in 91!!! That's got to be the best used car salesman one-line I've heard yet.

In the words of a simple man...ahem...BULL****! I'm so glad I sent that guy packing when I DID
