The P-13 (racing) Paramount came with no eyelets. The Catalog for that year says that the "short wheelbase and shallow fork rake combine to produce quick and responsive handling".
Here's a link to the specs for the P-13 1974 Paramont:

The P-15 Touring model says that "Larger wheelbase and increased fork rake combine to produce a more shock absorbing ride and greater stability under heavier touring loads.

Your's sounds like best of both worlds.
What size is your frame? The dimesnions could be custom ordered, too.
