My coach is a 1975 - the generator instead of being a diesel was an Onan gas generator 6500 watt. It looked original but could have been replaced in the last 45+ years. Mine had some kind of slide on it but it was bent bad enough that I couldn't get it to move. It did have some kind old bolt or something to prevent it from moving.
What Dean said on the bumper. The middle section of mine comes off with some work. Also mine has a front door to access the generator compartment. I put a Generac 8500 diesel box unit in. I had to do some customization to get it in - but it works. Message me if I can help. If your bumper is one piece a butane torch and penetrating oil are your friend. I think the battery cables that go to the generator go all the way back to the R R engine compartment. I can verify that if needed. Try to save the chrome bolts if you can, they are a little hard to find.
These are all custom build so things may be different on yours.
