Why is there a pin right behind the takedown pin on the stock photo on FN's website (and every other SCAR17, seemingly) but not on mine?!?  I bought it brand new today, and the fact that there's a different lower on this gun seems odd. I'm worried that since it's a one-off camo factory thing that it's somehow not a standard 17s.

Look directly above my index finger, where the front takedown pin would be on an AR15.   There's 2 pins on the stock photo, and 1 pin on mine.

That's the pin which initially limits the rifle to single-stack mags, when it's imported from Belgium. They mill it out internally once in the US, and prepare it for sale.
Yours was manufactured in the US, so it never needed a pin to render it importable.

Perfect! Reassures me that all is well, thanks!

Or, that’s where you put the pin to limit the rifle to 10 round mags when the next assault weapons ban hits!
