I have come across a few that I was able to match a negative from the VanOeyen archive, to a press photo, and I have seen other posts stating they had photos done by other photographers, but the photographer stamp was not present on the back of press photo.

Bill, I am not sure what your definition of a lot is or what the percentage would actually be but yes, it definitely happens. There are a ton of reasons why it would happen. It could be that the photographer simply didn't do it or that a news service made a copy of the original ...and everything in between. The short answer to your question is, yes.
There are a ton of Conlons with his own hand writing on the back with no stamp(example).
