where's the base of the light? The second ceiling rose looks like there's an earth wire. Were class 2 lights installed previously?
 
The first 2 pictures are what I currently have installed. They are the standard ceiling rose. They both have a earth (on one picture it’s not very visible)?

Your " new" light fittings quality is questionable. Did you purchase it from an internet site ??
 
Can’t I attach earth to the bolt?
You could, but that won't achieve anything.

Where are the installation instructions for this light fitting?
Why does it have wire colours which are not used in the UK or Europe?
Where are the connectors for the wires?
Where is the labelling to indicate whether it is a Class I or Class II product?
Where is the legally required CE marking and manufacturer's contact details?
