This panel (there is only one at house) has NO ground bar--grounds and

this is all new to me.
That is standard in service panels.

Are you saying it's standard to bond together in service panel

Bonding together is required. It is almost always done in the service panel.

or it's
common to just have the "neutral" bar and put grounds and neutrals on
it? I was thinking that they may have just made them like this all
those years ago, but now have the two bars in newer ones.

Just a neutral bar also used for grounds is common.
