The parts #'s on those parts are different,so they must be different somehow.It looks like the 91 one is more rounded on the corners.But I would say that will have to try it.

I'm not 100% sure about your car. But just letting you know for my car (1991 Camaro) I would have to swap the honeycomb to change the bumpers. Or atleast cut and modify the stock honeycomb to get it to fit. I'm not sure if its the same for your car though.

The bumper on a 92 is much thinner than the 84. I have owned both an 84 and a 91 bird. The Rear impact absorber that is currently on your 91 will easily fit under your 84 bumper. However, it will be smaller than the 84 and may cause a little problem. It wont totally fill the space in the 84 and may cause the bumper to look sagging in the middle. Im not totally sure on this but it sounds possible.
So yes your 84 bumper will work on the 91.
