I don't think this would improve cooling, as the bottleneck of airflow is probably the radiator, not the grill.
All I can guess is that the grill was damaged and removed.
Edit: accidentally commented this twice due to poor mobile data service.
It looks identical on both jeeps though
You're right. I didn't even notice the second jeep before. It looks like this was done on purpose, which is kind of stupid, especially on the jeep driving behind the other. The grill is there to protect the radiator from debris. Once the radiator gets hit by a a small rock and starts to leak, which can happen quickly, as they are usually made of very thin metal, you'd have to constantly monitor engine heat and fill up cooling water regularly.
