Doh. Why didn't I think if that? Yes, that curve puzzled me, still can't see why it's there since it's about the only curve on a Lightweight other than the bonnet.Search online for 'land rover military bumperettes' images. Lots of pictures
This link shows a natural curve to the outside edge. I would have thought as long as the angles of the uprights(as shown in your pics) are the same and the mating faces where you bolt them to the chassis are flat they should look ok.
Or if you are feeling flush, buy a new pair of nice shiny ones

Is this a confession?
I suppose you could get the curve back if you used a clamp at the top of the uprights to maintain tension and hammer the other face from the back with a dolly with it resting on a sandbag or something similar. I wouldn't use your thigh. Don't laugh, i saw my mate at work doing that with a piece of bodywork he didn't want to hammer 'flat'. The best bit was how he yelped every time he hit it. I nearly swallowed my tongue trying not to laugh as i walked away!
