I’m mildly confused. As I’m building a Valentine IX, I’ve come to Step 4, Gun and Mantlet Assembly.
Based on the diagram, it’s indicating that both the IX and X versions should have a coaxial machine gun.
In reading about the Soviet Valentines, I’ve found that they were not particularly happy with the IX’s lack of the coax gun, while the X and XI re-added it to the turret. Is the diagram incorrect, or am I reading incorrect information?
Here are URLs to the information I’m referencing:

And here’s a pic of the relevant diagram:
