I would like to know which year or years as the case may be did Fender issue P Bass necks with truss rod access from the head stock and not the neck heel?

Precision basses made in the USA always have had their truss rod access from the body side of the neck. I am talking about the standard USA Precision bass not made in Mexico or Japan. This rod style changed to an Allen-type nut adjuster in 1995, but the adjuster is still accessed from the body end of the neck.

There were years in which the Jazz bass and Telecaster bass used bullet truss rods that adjusted from the headstock, but this change was never made to the Precision bass.

Mexican and Squire basses made in China Korea or Indonesia has always had truss rods that adjusted from the headstock.

I hope this answers your question.

The Precision Elite and Plus series basses featured a BiFlex truss rod which can be adjusted from the headstock.

The switch to the Posiflex graphite neck support rods did not occur until July 1995.
