I don't know whether all 702's had drop points, but the Crawford and Whatley book on Scotts shows a photo of one (p. 72) with drop points. The 712/720/728's, which were basically 702's made for the American market and with the last 2 digits designating the gauge, did have drop points. (I owned a 720, which also had factory 3" chambers--and weighed about 5 3/4 pounds. Needless to say, I never tried any 3" shells in it!)
