Are you sure? I have taken apart many Shimano 600 and Dura-Ace hubs, and I have only seen what is shown in the picture in the 2nd generation Dura-Ace hubs. I think that with 600 Shimano went directly from the first-generation press-fit body to the 3rd generation 10mm hollow bolt.

I have upgraded several older 600 Uniglide-style hubs to Hyperglide freehubs. No issues.

I have also upgraded several of the first-generation 600 press-fit hubs to 8/9/10 speed Hyperglide freehubs, without using the hollow fixing bolt. Bolt really isn't needed as the hub axle and cones holds everything together.
