I have an old Polytech/Norinco ad from back in the day showing the different models... and it may have it's bayonet mounting capability...Need a close-up pic of the area just under the front sight where the clening rod locks in. If those two little fangs are still present, even if only a small amount, it may be one of those that took a Type 1 bayonet like the one found on the Polytech Legend milled rifle.

When they first started hacking on rifles there was some confusion as to the bayonet lug actual location. The Spiker versions were obvious as daylight where the bayonet was but the detachable knife style had the early type 1 bayonet on some of the folders, and the later bayonet lug we're all familiar with as being located on the gas block.on the solid wood stock models. As such some rifles escaped the butcher's grinder as they mistakenly thought the rifle came in already having the baynet lug deleted when in fact it had the version where the lock on the bayonet engaged the little "fangs" on the underside of the front sight base. Instead of the traditional location on most AKMs under the gas block. Might want to take a closer look at that area.
