While according to FIDE, the valid notation is 38...hxg3 e.p., 38...hxg3 is
fully acceptable and legal according to PGN standard: "En passant captures do
not have any special notation; they are formed as if the captured pawn were on
the capturing pawn's destination square."

This is not the only difference. For example, a pawn promotion according to
FIDE: d8Q, according to PGN: d8=Q
