I believe that "x" is there to cancel the old number, as it is placed "on top" and then the sear bar renumbered.

Canceled Vopo markings are seen just to the right of the serial number on the left chamber.

The RC "X" is usually on the left side of the chamber(and larger, and not squished); though there may be a circled X on the front of this frame, which I can almost see in one of the pictures.
