You're right, I've been thinking about that. I've seen ones of these with no brakes at all, of course on a fixie you don't really need brakes. Looks like it did have them at one point, the wheel's worn and the mounting hole on the frame is rusty. I went looking for the guides and again, you're right - there are none. There's just a single clip on the left side of the head tube, which looks about right for holding an outer cable.
From what I understand, having no brakes (back ones especially) means no cable to get wrapped flipping the bars for tricks.

I wouldn't count on there having been a back brake and lever seeing as the cable guides are missing too. I'd bet the owner took it off to look more like a sweet fixie even though it's run single speed.
