My question is this…did the front bumpers of the 1973 914 come with front bumperettes without exception or did some come without?

AFIK, 1973 for the US DOT market all front bumpers came with these. 1974 front+rear.

I remember the "Bumperettes". They were an all female doo-wop group from South Philadelphia. One big hit in around 1956. One of them got married, had four kids, got fat. One of them choked to death eating a cheese steak and fries. The other two ran off to France together and were never seen again. A tragedy really. They made some great music.
