Though Dimblebly and co did keep presenting during the breakfast timeslot that year (looking on YouTube, all that changes is the BBC News ticker is replaced by a clock at 6:09, then goes back to the results ticker at 8:30, there's no Breakfast branding anywhere), rather than going to a separate Breakfast branded programme with different presenters as happened in 83-05, which I imagine is why it was included in that repeat, it's basically just part of the regular coverage.
Though the 97 Breakfast News did differ from other years in that it came from the election studio rather than the usual one, albeit still with its own branding and presenters.

I actually did watch through the 1992 election earlier, which is probably one of the more interesting ones to watch because of how wrong the polls were, even their own exit poll, and seeing how things change through the night as they realise, and their predictions VERY slowly shifting- it's not until several hundred seats have already come in that they start to aknowledge a Tory majority as being likely. With pretty much every other election we've seen, bar 1970, the result's more or less a foregone conclusion (with exit polls in recent elections getting it right to within a few seats, even the surprise 2017 result), so you don't really get any of that.
