No- no added wire. The "metallic conductor" I refer to IS the neutral
wire, but there is an added bond from that to the earth ground rod

Significantly, ALL panels I have ever seen have this "Bonding
connection" between the green wire blocks and the neutral blocks.
Neither the green or the neutral is switched.
