That could be it, although, it looks like a pair of TRS connectors could have sat under the word clock connectors, but perhaps this had a better aesthetic look. But as far as reasons go, this makes the most sense so far.

Those two units were released on the same day so there's no older or younger here. The X8p is UA's top interface that has preamps; the X16 is their top interface that has no preamps. They're only priced a couple of hundred apart at $3300 for the X8p and $3500 for the X16.
