Great.  :)

This is fairly unconventional.

Here is how I would do that.
Please note that maybe other more talented users may have another
(better) solution.

To print by default _every_ bar numbers _below_ the bar line I would use

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    barNumberVisibility = #all-bar-numbers-visible  % to print "1" also
    \override BarNumber #'break-visibility = #'#(#f #t #t)  %
#end-of-line-invisible
    \override BarNumber #'direction = #DOWN
    \override BarNumber #'self-alignment-X = #CENTER
  }
}

Then, to print the exceptions above the staff, in bold and boxed I would
use a variable (let's call it "barNumberMark"):

barNumberMark = {
  \once \override Score.BarNumber #'direction = #UP
  \once \override Score.BarNumber #'stencil = #(make-stencil-boxer 0.1
0.25 ly:text-interface::print)
  \once \override Score.BarNumber #'font-series = #'bold
}

and I would call  \barNumberMark  each time I want to highlight the bar
number, i.e. measure 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 64 and 73.

You'll find in attachment my proposal applied to your file.

Cheers,
Xavier

PS: Measure 62 and 72 I also changed your r1 into R1 (whole measure rest
centered).
