Art style, yeah. Generally, regular Bombermen have "mitten hands" or just round balls for hands, and more of the evil characters or cyborgs have fingers. Super Bomberman 3 has some good artwork to look at here; all the evil characters (including Bagura) have fingers, while all but two of the "good" characters (the World Bombers) have mitten hands, except for two who, as you mentioned, have distinctive gloves.

So I guess the thing is, if you're evil, or are a Bomber-Cyborg, you can have fingers if you want. Otherwise, all you have to do is put on some realistic-looking gloves and your hands will magically change shape and gain extra digits. Then again, Bomberman can make a peace/victory sign whenever he wants to.

In the end I guess this is one of those weird art things that you just don't question.
