This one doesn't seem to!
I've seen photos of Hank with both (bound and unbound), though the bound neck seems more common. If it's the one referred to in the thread I linked to earlier, then I suppose it's possible it was used by Hank at some point.
I'm still a long way from convinced though - it will be interesting to see if more photos do actually get posted.

August 1965 (TOTP): No binding on Hank's "Marvin"...
November 1965 (despite what it says on the Youtube page) (SNATLP): No binding on Hank's "Marvin"...
I have an idea that the bound neck came along only with the Baldwin changes (ie, when the guitar's nameplate was changed).
This third video, which I had not seen before, has The Shadows playing Bombay Duck (probably in Australia). It cannot be before April 1967 because that's when the record was released (it was recorded in late February 1967): No binding on Hank's "Marvin", but the guitars do now have the "Baldwin" name-plates.
