What about an artists' impression of the inhabitants of an ancient civilisation, based on archeological evidence? Or what about a sketch of a building before it was destroyed, based on (copyrighted) sketches or photos that already exist?
These two examples (especially the second one) don't seem to fit your definition, which was "pictures attempting to illustrate a subject in the absence of definitive information".
I'd say it's hard for an image drawn by a Wikipedia not to technically violate NOR, so NOR should probably be clarified with these types of images in mind. What to put in the caption of the image is especially tricky.
