These may have been the first type of 911 like the CS or the 964 C4 lightweight that Porsche produced.
I'm still hoping someone uncovers a holy grail document that shows racing homologation, but I've exhausted where to look! The "Sportive" or Club Sport theory is a really interesting one that bears more research and thought. The '73 Carrera RS was, IMO, the original Club Sport type model...marketing didn't think it would sell, too stripped down, etc.
