The 806X was a BEA quirk. These Viscounts donated their engines to the BEA Argosy fleet and the Viscounts got the Argosy engines, whereupon the aircraft were redesignated '806X'. Afterwards they probably weren't much different to the earlier 802 series. I don't know if the 806s ever got their original engines back.
