Prepare Ye The Way of the Lord has an interesting run through of who served a mission in the First Presidency and Quorum of Twelve Apostles.
It seems that the less senior apostles are more likely to have served as full-time missionaries. The older apostles were not full-time missionaries probably because there wasn’t as much emphasis back then and of other intervening circumstances (war).

I don’t know this for a fact. But I think that they didn’t serve missions because they were serving their country during war time. Again, I haven’t researched this, and I don’t really know, but I would guess that was the reason, and not because of Church emphasis.
