It's interesting as when you look at the assembly manual, it shows 6 bolts across the bottom of the grille to attach it to the filler panel. 4 using the brackets and the 2 outer using holes where you marked with green. If you look at aftermarket panels, only ones for a '57 have these outer holes (but no brackets as there are additional holes punched into the panel). I do have an original '55/56 grille and it does have the outer brackets like your grille has. Maybe someone more familiar can chime in.
