I do not believe they were fitted to all cars. My '73 has them as does my '75. I believe you mentioned your car is a '74 2-liter, so my *guess* is that your car would originally have had them too, but again that is just a guess on my part.

I'm pretty sure they all had them Dave & porschetub, but were often lost & never replaced if broken or taken off for a repaint or detailing, etc.
Mine were taken off by the dealer who had repainted it when new at customer request, but were never put back on until I did so after 3 years in `75/76. They were there as a finish piece & held the round foam "air filter" of questionable worth in that purpose, for the flow thru ventilation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Cheers!
