I took a look at a used Rebel S II in a shop on Friday. It
definitely has sprockets. And it doesn't have an IR sensor where my
Elan has it - to the immediate upper right of the shutter.
So. It appears that either the list on Willem-Jan's Web site is
incorrect on this detail point or the Rebel S II has an IR diode
mysteriously hidden away somewhere else.
Since it seems to me that the only logical place to put an IR sensor
would be as close to the shutter as possible, I'm presuming the
latter is the case. I guess the only way to find out for sure would
be to try the camera with HIE film. :) A shame that we have this
confusion, as a lot of people buy second bodies uniquely for use with
HIE if their primary bodies have the IR fogging problem.
