From photographic evidence, the only 707/720s that lacked the HF probe were US domestic aircraft, specifically, American's 720s (but not their 707-120s), United's 720s and TWA's 707-120s. As far as I'm aware all other 707/720s had the probe.

TWA retrofitted a couple of early 707's with tail HF Antennas for transatlantic ops. They were removed when the a/c returned to domestic duties

Some 707's had a second HF Antenna (not probe) on the R/H wing to allow a dual HF set-up
