I suppose it depends on your definition of a “chup”.
If the definition is (as in most Yeshivos), “hair above the forehead, long enough to comb to one side,” then both Rav Gifter and Rav Hutner, among many others, had “chups”. Based on the pictures in front of me right now, Rav Hutner’s was slight, and Rav Gifter’s was quite pronounced. Many of the Alter Mirrer had very long “chups” before WWII.
I’m not sure what the other definition is.
