The closed position stop pin is different, and it's internal within the knife. The thumb studs aren't contacting the handle in the closed position, but only when the knife is open.
It looks to me like the same internal pin on the 2018 versions stops the blade in the open and closed position. There is another pin besides the internal one?
With the blade closed, you can see a portion of the tang (above the blade section where the lockface makes contact) that is ground down - that internal pin makes contact with that section of the tang when open.
The internal pin also makes contact with the section of the blade just behind the plunge grind / choil when closed. It is the area immediately below the detent hole.
