Channel selector, normally only found on NTSC XL/XE machines, only 400/800 PAL machines had it.

 

Probably just a case of cases being either mixed up in production or not having any PAL ones available at the time.

If you have a good look, you can see that the connector for the TV is next to it.

The symbol over it shows that they belong together.

It's a switch to set the modulator to channel 2 or 3.

The channel select switch was dropped for PAL versions, that's why it is missing

If I remember correctly, my PAL XE had a small plastic cover in the channel selector hole.

Maybe the small cover fall out over time.
