I think yours is the old spec that's shorter travel. I don't know if there's any other real difference.
XCL Links
I was talking with a friend of mine at a local trailhead that also owns a chumba XCL, and we noticed that our shock monunts had different shaped links. It would appear that his has more leverage on the shock than mine. Then I came home and noticed that the ones that people have posted on this site also show a range of differences on the rear shock mount. Is one better or worse to have? Is the latest the best leverage rate to have on the XCL? am I missing out on a upgraded part on my 07 XCL?
ALAN, please put my mind at ease.

so smalls have this link and all others have the different link?
I am going to guess that this is because the seat tube is longer on larger frames and you are keeping the shock position the same realtive to the top tube?
I find this very intriguing. . . .
