Kh-31 does have an anti shipping capability I believe, the chart is probably just there to show external dimensions of the missile. I'm pretty sure all Kh-31 variants have the same outwards dimensions.

oops, I missed the obvious
now I consulted one of the Russian sourceswhich says, my translation, Due to a high level of unification with Х-31А, the anti-radiation modification differs basically just in the guidance system.
(Х-31А is the Russian designation of the anti-surface variant; anti-radiation: Х-31П -- you may see their pictures in the link I posted.)
