The developers of BCash went and submitted patches to XT, unlimited, etc. to turn them into bcash notes.  So that is likely what you are seeing.

Let us take https://bitnodes.21.co/nodes/?q=Bitcoin+XT
or even https://bitnodes.21.co/nodes/?q=%2FBitcoin+XT%3A0.11.0G

You see some nodes have blockheight 478*** - they are on hard-fork chain
Some others are on mainchain and their node height is 479***

The client is old enough - it does not know anything about bcc-fork
Why these nodes with blockheight 478*** are not synced?

UPD: ok, I see that some of them have NODE_CASH flags set and some do not have.
