Looks like it was fitted with "H" E-start, bigger battery, kidney oil tank and distributor.

LOL......an XLCH would have had the "lunch bucket" oil tank, no starter motor and a magneto.

Easy way to make sure is on the engine numbers....the last two will be 3A or 4A.....3A is XLH and 4A is XLCH.

I like your original front fender much better than that chrome one.
