Ah, well spotted. Of course if that's all that makes it SC, it makes me wonder if a non SC X1H could be made SC by swapping out the rubber coupling from say and non-working X3H.

I found some more examples -
X1M, X1H, X2HE (not sure what the E means), X3M and X3H - see photos. Sorry about the poor flash photography on the iPhone! Give me a 35mm SLR any day ...

.. and yes, the hole only appears at the X3M/X3H cartridge. I wonder why BSR didn't do that from the beginning. Hindsight's a wonderful thing though isn't it.
