The Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518193 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2006 Hummer H3. I spoke with contact at Demco and he stated that this base plate kit is directly compatible with your Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar # BX7420 without the need for any additional adapter piece. The two units will work together perfectly on your Hummer.

I have attached the written installation instructions for the base plate kit that you can also check out.
