In 1998 they made an STX level MC40 version and went stud (the style you show) rather than screw bolt and for the lever changed the colour and a different barrel adjuster.
STX-RC then also used this for reasons only known to Shimano.
But this bike is 1997, and has the 1997 groupset when M600 was Deore LX, STX-RC and DX.
The M600 style levers went on for over another decade. Crap as they are.
Edit to add a pictures
I think they alway branded the RC? And all lower level use that brake stud design.
