I got a DX block but it's a flat tappet instead of a Roller block

Hey there!
I've come here to ask you guys about my DX block that is a .842 Flat Tappet one instead of a Roller one. In my experience I thought all DX blocks are Rollers. May this block be a Rare Crossover between the D Block and the DX one?
Also the block is a F1 Casting if that helps.

Be happy & smile, you don’t have to spend many hundreds of dollars to bush the lifter bores in order use the more common .842” lifters.
