Well they could support AS.30s which isn't that far removed in size:

So going by these pictures, the Nord AS.30 missile never required an aircraft-mounted radar to support its targeting/guidance?

No it did not because the AS.30 AS-30 used a simple MCLOS guidance with the pilot aligning the flares located near the missile's rear with the target and controlling the missile in flight after launch with a small joystick, sending steering commands to the missile via a radio link. It was all visual.
The later AS.30L used laser guidance though:
