How can you tell?

1997 was the first year for the bumper with the cooling slot in the middle and the license plate relocated to the Left side of the bumper. 1992-1996 had the license plate centered in the bumper

Here's a 1995 with a cooling slot, though:

And I think that in some cases, the license plate placement is a matter of choice for departments or goes according to departmental regulations.

the only thing I can do is Hypothesize that the one in the link has been wrecked and the bumper was replaced with a newer one.

I am 99.9% sure that the bumper with slot was added in 1997 when the grille was changed.

That could be a possibility indeed. By the way, do you have any type of documentation or link to back that up? I'm not saying I don't believe you (you've earned my trust) but it would help me feel better as this new information would also be applied to other Econoline/E-Series vans listed already.

This is what Wikipedia says:

Quote The 1997 Econoline received an updated front end with a new grille that featured an oval cutout and new lower front bumper trim. Also new was an ergonomic dashboard layout containing dual airbags. Also introduced at this time were the new line of Triton V8 engines to replace the Windsors and the 460. The new lineup of engines featured a 4.2 L Essex V6, 4.6 L and 5.4 L Triton V8s, and a 6.8 L Triton V10. The 7.3 L diesel continued unchanged.



Even though it just says a new lower bumper trim, actually the entire bumper was changed. Which is why the bumper trim was changed. I know wikipedia isn't the best source but it is the only link I can find online at the moment.

Fair enough.
This would have to be a 1997-2002 model then as it still has the older-style turn signal lenses.
