If there was nothing connected to the open end of the bracket but it was in a position to have something attached that could hang down and clear other parts of the body it might have been for an anti-static strap. Those were a fairly common item back in the day in areas with climate conditions where static electricity was an issue.
The straps are not as common today with tires being made with compounds that can conduct and dissipate the static fairly well but are still around. Here is a modern example.
I don't see enough of the bumper to be clear on where the opening in the bumper is located or if that is where you took off one of the uprights but if it is always exposed, another possibility might be for some kind of whip antenna.
