Later compurs have X-sync too. My 1970(ish) Tele-Xenar does.

As does mine. I'm not selling mine though. Besides, it has a tiny bit of marking on the coating from some old fungus. It shoots fine, but it doesn't look pretty.
 
On mine, it's a PC mount sticking out of the side, above the cocking arm and just below the piston up top on the right side (if looking into the front of the lens). It should be fairly easy to spot in photos. Of course, that doesn't mean that it works.
 
I've seen many photos of the Compound shutter with the PC sync but comments that the shutter was older than electronic flash so that's why it's not X Sync... which makes sense. But if there is a newer version I'll have to find one.
 
Well, I bought my friend's Tele-Xenar with Compound shutter. I tried my speedlight connected to it and was able to see the light through the lens at it's fastest speed 1/100s. I'm planning on testing it more when I get the lens board for it.
