This is correct and certainly not a messed system.
Some UEFI firmwares require a bootable file at a known location before they will show UEFI NVRAM boot entries. If this is the case,

@linux-aarhus - thanks a lot - much appreciated! I will check out this section of the Arch Wiki a bit later & give it a go. Manjaro has been so stable on the whole over the last 10 years, that I haven’t learned that much! I will give it a try fixing this one. Thanks again, also for your involvement in the core team. More power to you all…

Thanks, R
