I recently bought a pair of traditional Everlast boxing gloves... Everlast also sells gloves labeled 'bag gloves' and the only difference I could tell was the inclusion of a grip dowel.
In general gloves that are marked "bag gloves" are lighter and have the dowel you mentioned. I believe they are also less likely to have an attached thumb...

Sparring gloves are OK for bag use, but I wouldn't use anything with the dowel for sparring.
