Do you one further, production for Edgar was march of '99 but the forks say M600 on the inside of one of them. They're the Marzocchi with the big nut part at the top.

Weird, I can't seem to find a source to back up my claim...I know I'd seen it enshrined somewhere reputable. I thought I'd smugly post the 2000 and 01 parts diagrams back to back but they're no help, they both claim a single disc, which would make both of us wrong.

My 01 M750 dark came stock with dual disc Brembos, and since then I've never seen a pre-01 M750 that didn't have a single disc. Even if you do an image search, 97, 98, 99, 00; doesn't matter virtually every one has a single disc.

They're about as rare as the dry clutch 750's if not more so. I'm sticking with my claim with the caveat that there's always the random alloy swingarm, upgraded forks, dry clutch etc that found it's way onto the 750 from the factory.

My '99 M750 Dark is a single disc model.  Stops fine, only had heat issues once, but it doesn't see track time.  Also, I'm probably slow by some standards.

Edgar saw 3 or 4 pretty good track days. The later ones I was braking pretty hard and discolored the brake fluid. Changed it for fresh stuff and all was well.
