Hello Andrew, welcome aboard DVInfo.net. As you can see in the
XL2 FAQ on the main site:

Q Can I use the XL2's multi-function color LCD viewfinder on my XL1 / XL1S?

A No, it is not backward-compatible with the XL1 or XL1S.

Q Will the Canon FU-500 color LCD viewfinder from the XL1 / XL1S work on the XL2?

A No, it is not forward-compatible with the XL2.

If I remember correctly there is an optical attachment available
for the XL1 viewfinder to enlarge the screen optically. However,
I can't seem to recall who made it at this point in time. Hopefully
someone will join in who does.
