As far as I know ...there was a version of XT for the Austrian market with standard 4-Valves "downbored" to 500 cc , this was made for fiscal/permit issues ...the bike was more or less like the 600 standard, exept for less power ..
I also have seen some XT500 with seat, tank and lights of XT600 , but are easy to discern them , the XT500 has an "old style" round -shaped cylinder instead of the newer squared of 600 , also on 500 the spark plug is on the side of the head , in 600 at center
