Well that's impressive information!@GAD : I already got a reply from ABM's Sales & Marketing Director. He said they don't have them in inventory anymore but it is one with M6 thread. Since they didn't do this whammy bar entirely inhouse they had to order the cut to length material with the M6 thread from an external supplier and their minimum order size was 500 pcs. Later ABM bended it into shape. To re-install the bending tools at ABM a similar order size would have been required. Since demand was extremely low they had not reissued this bar anymore so far. (but in theory they could).
He pointed me to StewMac which would have a very similar one:
Also a German company has them:6mm Tremolo Arm - StewMac
Slightly larger in diameter than the "traditional" tremolo arm, these arms are similar to those found on many imported guitars.www.stewmac.com

Interesting. So that either would mean Müller made a "custom" version of the bridge for Guild without the M6 thread... Or, what is also possible, ABM's current Sales & Marketing Director didn't realize that this ABM/Mueller 5200 Tremolo maybe never had a thread and he only thought so? Because the drawing doesn't have a "M6" marking on the hole either!
Two versions of the tremolo? Or it was a different one, maybe you had a Kahler tremolo?
O.k., makes sense, but here we were talking about the arm for a Guild/Müller (now ABM) tremolo, not for a Kahler.
This is the arm that came with my Detonator. No threads
