It's odd, for sure. I suspect an editing issue, like a typo, and here's why;
googling, there are some obvious references to some M96 engines which had a M10x1.25 connecting rod screw. I can't find anything defining when / where they were used, but in each case I've found them in use it's been on a 3.2L engine. I wonder if this was in the early M96 motors destined for GT3 cars, or some other performance-spec? It's very vague and incomplete information, yet it's out there.
So I wonder if they meant to list the M10x1.25 on one of those lines, but typo'd it, or auto-correct "fixed it" for them? OR - when they compiled the values for whatever your source is, the M10 was determined to be unnecessary in that context so it was expressly changed to M9, but left the line there so as not to interrupt the page-breaks in an otherwise-ready-to-print document.
These are "guesses" based on the information available.
