Mech is correct in this case
When you look up parts on boats.net for parts it comes up Pro xs
Both motor designations ARE Optimax motors. A 2005 motor is NOT a ProXS.
Someone replaced the cowl.
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
Mercury's online parts catalog shows it as a standard Optimax, and as has been stated, someone simply replaced the cowl with one from a ProXS.

The 225 Pro XS was introduced in 2004, I bought mine in February of 2005. The Cowl says Pro XS.
