I can't provide one, but they are the same as Mk1 Xantia VSX, and maybe some Peugeot 406.
Note that the Xantia had two versions of the wheel which are externally identical, depending on whether the airbag controller is mounted in the steering wheel (94-96) or not (96-97). I imagine that the XM similarly used both versions.
With the early version, the airbag warning light is on the wheel near the radio buttons, with the later wheel the airbag warning light is on the dash.

Thank you for that I will have to check mine.
Edit. Mine has it on the wheel.
Do the airbags i.e. the wheel centres interchange? Quite often they are for sale without them.

I don't think early and late airbags are interchangeable. An early type wheel can be put on a late car, but a late wheel lacks the mounting holes for the early airbag controller. Your airbag would fit an early Xantia (airbag type) wheel.
EDIT: I just discovered that the XM wheel is 10mm larger diameter (rim) than the Xantia, and 9mm larger than the 406, but otherwise I think they are identical.

I fitted a later series one Xantia leather wheel to my late ( 2000 ) XM. Straight swop and I find the slightly smaller dia rim more preferable. T27 Torx fasteners on the back of the airbag module, but I found using a T30 bit was easier.

Internals are all exchangeable.. so even if you quired a wheel without warning lamp on the wheel it could all be swapped across...
