Note that the 5" 629 Classic in your photo also has the frame-mounted firing pin, as well as the triangular cylinder release - it's a different revision (a 629-5 I believe) than the DX in your second photo.

What is SCSW?

The 629 classic was just a representative photo showing the standard new style sight. It's very hard to find a photo of a revolver showing the top. In fact the only pics I could find of DXs showing the top of the frame show the same long sight, and I've yet to find a photo of non-DX that shows the longer tang.
