All in all, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The X1D II 50C having a larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Hasselblad X1D II 50C will produce greater detail using its extra 47MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more modern X1D II 50C will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
