I've been digging and can't really find "proof" that they were not wearing them. Frodo didn't see them - but then again I think he was looking at the swords!

Your forgot something. A ringbearer sees the ring not only when using his own - he just sees it. Although Galadriel is very fair - somewhat more distracting than swords, Frodo recognizes her Ring - Sam does not. If the Nazgul had their rings, Frodo would have at least sawn them when the Withking was grasping for him.
