The X prefix was used for all A5 16's from 1947-1953, according to the Blue Book serialization list. Yours is 1949.
You can find a free pdf of this list on the Blue Book website. Look for the Firearms Serialization link on their Firearms home page.
1953-on the standard and Sweet [lightweight] 16's had different serial number prefixes.
