re: "Anyone got any idea of the tooling or technique used to make these 
cutouts?"

My guess would be a jig saw or small body saw like this one:

Dumb question: do some BN1s and 2s have these cutout vents? Our BN2's fenders only have the 3 holes for the chrome spears' studs.

If you get a chance, I could use closeups of how the shroud is attached to the cowl near the fascia. I know there are pop rivets and sheetmetal screws as well as the usual 10-32 machine screws, but we got into a frenzy disassembling our car and didn't take enough pictures.
