$E6 is the opcode for load ACCB and tells the 6809 that adressing mode is indexed mode. 
Also it tells the 6809 that there is a post byte to load in the next machine cycle.

A post byte of $00 is decoded as :

bit# 7  "0" - nonindirect indexed mode with 5 bit offset
bits#6 and 5 "00" - means the Xregister is used as the index pointer. 
bits#4 to 0 - "00000" is the twos compliment of the five bit offset. 

there  is no other bytes to load to calculate the offset.

This tells the 6809 that the instruction is indexed with no offset. Therefore there is not 
another byte to read to calcualte the offset.

Yes the code is different but the results should yield the same data that is loaded into 
ACCB.
