That looks great and of course will be rust free.
Mauritius is a really good colour for an Xm.
I note you have fitted Series 1, Italia wheels.

This unit was not sold, remained property of Citroen hispania for several years. It has several strange things, wheels, circuit breaker is incorrect for ORGA...

Not sure what you mean by "circuit breaker", but I suspect the garage just added some parts they had lying around to get the car sold.
The car looks to be VSX trim, so had not very inspiring, plastic wheel trims as built.

Circuit breaker=pressure regulator=conjuncteur-disyunteur. Mine has fitted one from Xantia 1.9D.
Version is SX, has cruise control too.
A Citroen hispania test unit? A show unit? A corporate unit? Who knows...

I'm not aware of any differences regarding the pressure regulator between Xm and Xantia.

The pressure regulator is referred to as a 'circuit breaker' in servicebox Parts, I recall.

Late Xantia regulators used different hydraulic fittings. Also some versions had the return pipe spigot at a different angle (but this is also true of some XMs).

This version (dk5 SX year 2000) exited the factory with de new Mages plug, a nightmare to find today.

One hour ago we had de keypad failure, both lights on, trying to start engine to take off the keypad, no lucky till now...

Both red+green on = fault. First check fuse F1 (10A) in the engine bay fusebox - could be blown, or making poor contact with its fuseholder contacts. It is very close to F2 (blower and AC), which is known to overheat.

Mages plug??
