There are TWO versions of the IIx factory library: Blue & Pink ( so named because of the color of the labels ). They're mostly the same, but there are some differences too. 

When I made the sample CD of the library it was mostly from the pink one. 

Sorry can't help you more.

I've also been looking for that sound in the IIx library.
I've got the following 3 string floppies, none of them which contain that sound:

#14 LOSTRING
#15 HISTRING
#16 STRINGS3

Is this one of those sounds that got copied between artists/producers and isn't part of the original Fairlight library? 
Or did Fairlight decided not to include this sound in the IIx library  even if it was part of the Series I/II library?
