Fairly easy to create, but I wonder, does this phenotype have a publication history?

Nothing official, though it's had a few write-ups in homebrew material.
IMO lycanthropes cannot be herbivores. They must be omnivores or predators. |

They were called 'rhinaurs'. They only seem to appear in that book and they weren't were-creatures - they were more like centaurs in that part of their body was rhino and the rest human. |

Naever heard of a were-rhino...
The Realms Bestiary, Volumes 1 & 2 by Eric L. Boyd and Thomas M. Costa, had a lot of werecritters in it... Including the werebison, so we have semi-official FR lycanthropic herbivore.
Sean K Reynolds wrote what I think is an awesome lycanthrope sourcebook, Curse of the Moon. One of his goals was addressing the power imbalance created by lycanthropic characters, and I think he did a good job on it |

My gun mage was nearly killed by a rhino, a few sessions ago... The rhino objected to being shot. And our ranger had made himself invisible to animals, which prompted me to grab my tablet and play a few lines of "Brave Sir Robin" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
All that aside, rhinos are simply not designed to be carnivores, or even predators. |

A were-robin? With a redchested half-humanoid hybrid form? Feeling the lunatic urge to chitter, preen, dig for worms, and flee whenever the moon is full? |

Oh, my bad, it was a were-python. Much more sensible. |

A were-mockingbird: on a monthly basis, it is compelled by the urge to divebomb random passers-by. |

Blame the guy who does Order of the Stick -- that was in Dragon magazine. |
