The way to tell is by plugging it into CAN. If using a black jag as a bridge, you can use the bdc-comm utility to query the version. If you intend to use the Servo PWM interface, then you don't need to upgrade the firmware.

As for hardware revisions, they are either black or gray plastics. All gray jags are the same hardware inside.
