The Egypt Medal was initially issued in 1882 and this version had a date on it, the subsequent issues were made without a date. Having looked at the medal roll some men on HMS Briton qualified for a 'battle' clasp, which was worn on the ribbon with the medal, but your man was not one, hence the no clasp comment.
