Are there any bond films that don't have the bond theme in the score? (Other than the gunbarrel that is)

You can't count the knock-off Bond films like CR67 and NSNA.
Yeah I didn't mean the full theme, but rather snippets of the theme etc
1 - Moore, 2 - Dalton, 3 - Craig, 4 - Connery, 5 - Brosnan, 6 - Lazenby
This list isn't exhaustive, but I'd be happy to provide more details if required:
DN- Many times
FRWL- Slightly less often. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRSNWKQpiOI
From here on, it's usually integrated into the score.
GF- "Oddjob's Pressing Engagement" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHl6WQCb5S8
TB- "Bond Meets Domino" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIVyOPpPiRA
YOLT- Little Nellie sequence
OHMSS- During PTS and Piz Gloria battle (the last time the original recording was heard*)
DAF- "Bond Meets Bambi & Thumper" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVaI8uf4gjU
LALD- Bond's cab ride uptown ("Uptown? That's Harlem, man")
TMWTGG- "Let's Go Get 'Em" (the car chase) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39i8dqlg7Mw
TSWLM- Bond's ride on the observation camera
MR- "Freefall" during the PTS
FYEO- The 2CV chase, the submarine scene
OP- During PTS, and when Bond drives a car along train tracks.
AVTAK- "MayDay Jumps" from the Eiffel Tower
TLD- "Ice Chase" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbeNFZyB7Fk
LTK- During PTS
GE- The tank chase https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anfxljPXg7M
TND- "Backseat Driver" (BMW in car park) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_9ut5Mv3Pk
TWINE- The boat chase along the Thames
DAD- Hovercraft chase
CR- As said above
QoS- Similar to CR
SF- Aston Martin's introduction
SP- Who knows? Yet!
Sometimes just the vamp is used (Martin did this heavily) behind the film's main/secondary theme or as a linking piece. Under Barry, gradually the riff section (the guitar part everyone knows) was used less and the bebop section (the brass part) was used more, and when the riff section was used it was often played on other instruments. Arnold brought back the electric guitar and was (and hopefully will again be) just as likely to use the riff as the bebop.
* in the films proper. It was still used in the trailers afterwards.
