The welding in the picture looks like TIG and also the position of the Reynolds and Saturn sticker is different (which could of course have changed over the years on team bikes too).

Does anyone has more information about the team bike and how to distinguish it from the promotion bike?

I have been on the lookout for one of these, but too far away for me. I worked for Saturn for 15 years and do not recall any promotional bikes being given out. I would definitely have one. I did carry the jerseys, shorts and cycling caps at my dealer. Here is a forum entry with a similar bike.
