The quarter windows were optional on all XA and XB's across the range.

Is it not an XC, by the colour and the side mold. My GXL was that colour, with a white Vinyl roof!

I have not owned an XC for 28 or so years however the window shape at the front of the front doors looks way to upright & square compared to what I remember.

Of course this may just be because of the quarter windows?

But what about the lack of fuel filler? That's more interesting (to me) than the fact that it's got 1/4 front windows...

I think I may have lost my pooch, yes. I see a slight change in colour where the fuel filler should be, but I can't see it...

It must be hiding.
