The 19 round are the xdm mags and 22 are for the elite I think? I think because of the flared magwell the 19 round mags might not fit? I'm not 100% about either. I'm for sure someone on this forum knows.
My Elite 3.8 mags indicate 13, but actually hold 14. Recommend loading them to capacity and you'll see they actually hold the amount advertised.

The XD-M Elite 9mm 4.5 barrel should come with (2) 20 round mags according to the specs. That should give you a capacity of 20+1 in the chamber.

I own several versions of the XD-M line. The standard mags that come with the XD-M Elite are in-fact 20 round magazines. They are marked with 19 witness holes because they are the same magazines as the ones included with older models, but with a slightly different base plate that allows for an additional round.
The difference is due to the flared magwell. If you were to remove the magwell, which is quite simple, you would notice that your magazines leave a small gap. A true 19-round magazine would fit flush.
The 19-round magazine is sold on Springfield's website at:
You will notice that the 19-round magazine (SKU XDM5019) contains the disclaimer; "Wil not fit XDM Elite Models with magwell".
The 20-round magazine is sold here:
You can tell by the picture that the baseplate is slightly different. A quick visual inspection should confirm which mags you have. Sorry for the long answer. Hope it helps.
