Don't have one but here's some info.
1973 Delta 88, Royale and Ninety Eight front bumpers are identical. There are two types- one with rubber impact strip, one without it. Also bumper guards with and without rub strips.
Is your reinforcement bar good, because that heavy thing gets $$$ to ship real quick.
If you currently have rub strip bumpers and just want to replace the chrome face bar, the strip has to come off to separate the chrome bar from the reinforcement bar. Take the bumper off the car, douse the rub strip attaching bolts with a good penetrating oil, and use an air impact wrench to break the nuts loose. Even then expect about half of them to strip out. Might be worth the extra shipping cost of the re-bar to avoid all that hassle.

You should also PM one of our members, bigdooly. He often parts 71-76 B/C body Oldsmobiles. He might have what your looking for.
As a last resort you can use this search engine to look for parts. Surprisingly, I got 3 hits when I searched for a bumper for your car:
