Has anyone else notice that all the renders (certainly the 16") on Apples website seem contain the old front view without the notch?

That doesn't appear to be the case from here. Are you outside of North America? I remember a ways back someone had a very different product image for the Apple Watch than everyone else, but you could only see it from Japan.
 
What do you mean front view? Are you talking about the display and how it doesn’t have a “notch” on the 16”? That is because the app is in full screen and the menu bar is hidden.

Ah yeh I guess it is. I looks like they have the old image of the 16" front screen. If you look when the 14" and 16" are back to back the 14" has the notch and the 16" does not though?
 
Oh I see what you mean now, but are they bungled renders or are they just hiding the notch on views where they think the notch would be distracting?

Yeh exactly that. Looks like two different models on first glance, and if you didn't know (like me) about the notch being hidden in full screen.
