the hole punched in the firewall for the cowl hood harness is right above the fuse panel. i am not sure of the size but is about 3/4ths of an inch. that is a good place to start as most x-44 cars with cowl hoods would be COPO's.

Well, theoretically a X44 could have been ordered with a ZL-2 hood. So it is possible...

Don't forget the dual exhaust adapter plate for the left exhaust pipe. The only possibility a X44 could be a COPO is if it had that adaptor plate. One curious thing when George Z documented my car. He stated that the COPO's had extra bracing through out. I have not yet had a chance to discuss this with George.
